RENOLIT ALKORPLAN Roofing course

We also provide estimation courses at the contractor's premises.

When you request information about the course, we will send you the information letter corresponding to the course you have requested.

Over the course of the two days, trainees will receive demonstrations, tuition and practical training in the basic principles of installing RENOLIT ALKORPLAN roofing materials and systems. Fitters who attend the course will receive a RENOLIT ALKORPLAN installers card and this will be evidence of the fitter’s attendance of the course, please note: This card verifies your participation and fundamental training; it does not attest to a specific level of field experience.
