Thanks to Marcel for the information on this educational program.

I hope he answers his emails better than his cell phone. Roll Eyes

I am on chapter 3 of 16 on the course.

I hope to pass and achieve the Master and Wizard designation.

There is numerous relevant info for Home Inspection, there is also a lot about specific types of shingles.

Here is a link for some free reference materials. I am going to purchase some sight cards to see how well they work on estimating roof slopes.

Hi Dave
Good luck also, where did you get this course your taking?
I got the manual, CertainTeed shingle Technology Manual.

I found they are just promoting their shingles, some of the questions could have multiple answers, depending on what was important to them.

It is called Shingle Applicators Manual and it is in the link I submitted, order it and we can work on the course together. I am on Chapter 5, Marcel took the course and is helping me out. I want to get the Wizard designation to.

I must say there are a heck of a lot more underlayments than I was aware off.

I think it is a good reference and refresher for roofing shingles.

Great!!  I am interested in if the site cards actually work on determining roof slope from the ground.  There was a lot of free stuff on the link. I order a bunch of stuff.

Free is me!! Actually the site cards cost $5.

CertainTeed also offers continuing education courses that are accepted by Nachi and other organizations.

Eragorn you're right about Vista Print, great pricing and products. everyone should check it out. Design your own brochures, business cards, flyers, etc.

David thanx for pointing out all the available products with CertainTeed. i just ordered some free items. I wasn't aware of that availability even though I have taken some CE courses thru them.

I ordered a few items myself and look forward to watching the CD's and trying out the sight card.

I wonder if Inachi will give me CEU credits for the master applicator course.

The brochures are nice give aways for clients.

I asked that same question about CE's for the CertainTeed course manuals and Gerry Beamont said it would be fair enough to allow 12 hours for both manuals.
I can check my log if you want and see what I put down to make sure.
Doing good David and good luck.
The fastest way to take the test is on line. Graded as soon as it is done.

Billy Jays offers an excellent roof course for three easy payments of $9.99. 

And if you call now, because we can't do this all day, he will throw in an 8x10 glossy of him sitting on the roof produced by his most recent graduating roof class.  Imagine, that could be you learning how to buy, install and finish any roof.  When you are done with this class, if you can put a ladder to it, you will be able to put roof shingles on it!

Call now!
