About NVQ Level 3 Diploma in Roofing Occupations:
The Level 3 Diploma in Roofing Occupations can help you take your construction career to the next level by providing specialised training in roofing techniques. The course includes both theoretical and practical components, allowing you as a learner to gain hands-on experience and understanding of the roofing trade. This programme is ideal for you if you want to pursue a career as a roof slater or tiler and seeking to obtain a CSCS Gold Supervisor Card.
The qualification is for experienced roofers who are already familiar with the basics of roofing work. So before considering this advanced qualification, you must have some experience with installation, inspection, and reclamation techniques. If you're new to the field and don't have the necessary experience, you may start with the Level 2 Diploma in Roofing Occupations or look into internships that can provide practical training. This will help you build a solid foundation of knowledge and skills before advancing to more complex and specialised types of roofing work.
This diploma covers a wide range of roofing activities, including installing pitched and flat roofs, repairing roofs, and working safely at heights. You'll start by learning about safety standards and waste disposal on construction sites. Then, it gets into the nitty-gritty of specific roofing techniques, including how to size, remove, and refit tiles or slates on all kinds of roofs - whether they're vertical, horizontal, or curved. A unit is specifically dedicated to helping you understand the dynamics of management and workload distribution. As a result, you will graduate with a holistic understanding of the roofing industry.
Providing national recognition of your skills and understanding, this diploma leads to further career opportunities and advancement within the roofing sector.
What Are Different Pathways That You Can Opt For?
When you sign up for the Level 3 Diploma in Roof Occupations, you get to choose from three different pathways that are tailored to your interests and experience.
Pathway 1 - Roof Tiler
Pathway 2 - Roof Slater
Pathway 3 - Roof Tiler and Slater
You can pick Pathway 1 to become an expert in Roof Tiling and learn all about how to install, fix, and take care of tiled roofs. Or, you can go for Pathway 2 to specialise in roof slating, where you'll master the art of installing and repairing slate roofs. And if you want to cover all your bases, there's Pathway 3, which covers both tiling and slating, so you can become a jack-of-all-trades in the roofing world.

Brilliant nvq course my assessor was Kehinde, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for better support. Everything was explained clearly and I felt supported every step.
John helped me through every stage of the NVQ. Really friendly and always quick to respond to any queries I had. Would definitely recommend this course to others.
The nvq was easier than I expected thanks to Kehinde’s guidance. He made sure I was on track and always gave constructive feedback. Great experience all round.
I wasnt sure what to expect, but Kehinde was brilliant. He gave me the confidence to complete my NVQ and made the whole process stress free.
