Training questions

Straight answers before you enquire.

Course scope, availability and outcomes are confirmed against the selected system rather than assumed.

Need to speak to the team?

Call 01254 433987 or send a training enquiry with the system and number of learners.

Where is Forti Nova training held?

Training is arranged through our Blackburn facility at Unit 1–3 Bridgewater Business Park, Gladstone Street, Blackburn, BB1 3DL. Confirm the course date and arrival details before travelling.

Which course is right for a beginner?

EPDM, HBS200 and PriviFilm enquiries can be assessed for new installers. SprayGrade is a commercial application route intended for suitable professional contractors. Tell us your experience and intended work so the team can recommend the correct starting point.

Will I receive proof of completion?

Course-specific completion records are available where the required practical and knowledge elements are completed. The exact outcome, assessment and any route toward approved-applicator status are confirmed for the selected system before booking.

Can a whole contractor team attend?

Group training can be discussed for contractor teams. Availability, group size, course format and pricing are confirmed against the selected system and preferred dates.

Does training automatically make me an approved applicator?

No. Completing training and becoming an approved applicator are related but separate steps. Approval can depend on the system, practical assessment, project experience, equipment, quality requirements and ongoing compliance.

Is technical support available after training?

Forti Nova can provide product and system support after training. Site-specific advice still depends on the substrate, conditions, specification and information supplied for the project.
