Course outcome
Training, certification and approved status are separate.
The course is designed to build practical EPDM installation capability. Any manufacturer certification, approved-contractor status or project allocation must be confirmed separately for the current pathway.
Course completion is not the same as automatic approved-contractor status.
Dates, group size, price and final course scope are confirmed before booking.
Site-specific installation still depends on the actual roof, substrate, weather and specification.
EPDM roofing questions
Straight answers before you enquire.
These answers stay on the selected system rather than returning you to a general installation or training page.
Is the EPDM course suitable for beginners?
New installers can enquire. Tell us your current trade and experience so the team can confirm the appropriate starting route.
Where is EPDM training held?
Training is coordinated through Forti Nova's Blackburn facility at Unit 1-3 Bridgewater Business Park, Gladstone Street, Blackburn, BB1 3DL.

Is this a FlexiProof EPDM course?
The Blackburn practical course is built around the current FlexiProof EPDM system route supplied by Forti Nova. If your objective is a specific manufacturer certification status, state that when you enquire so the current certification pathway can be confirmed.
Does completing the course make me a FlexiProof Certified Installer?
Course attendance, Forti Nova training completion and manufacturer certification or approved-contractor status are separate unless explicitly confirmed for the booking. Tell us if certification is your objective and we will confirm the current route before you book.
How practical is the EPDM training?
The course is workshop based and uses roof rigs so attendees can practise membrane positioning, bonding and the common details found on real flat roofs.
