I don't think that you need to go on training courses, as there are plenty videos on Youtube or from the suppliers, and it really is very simple. The only real problems are internal and external corner upstands, which you just need to practice.
Having said that, I understand that if you are doing this work under a building regs application, then you need to be "approved" installers for the work to be acceptable .. which means having gone on a Firestone course or whatever and having a certificate
There might be a bit of truth there, but I havent seen any videos etc showing the correct or easy way of detail work, around pipes, roof windows etc, for instance an internal corner is easy to do, but there are a few ways of doing it, plus the tidy way of doing them.
In general a detatched single garage roof is a piece of p**s to do but, since nearly all the builders merchants are stocking the rubber, every odd job man thinks its easy.
I was contacted this week, as a so called roofer installed a rubber roof but couldnt get the creases or bubbles out, he cut the bubbles out next day and patched them, totally pointless.
If the dimwit had went on a recognised training course, he would have been showed exactly how to firstly get rid of any creases prior to even glueing the rubber down, same as avoiding bubbles.
Yes it is easy, but you will see the difference of a roof fitted by someone who has been on a training course, and someone who hasnt.
Incidentialy, the detail works are the more satifying parts of the job.
