Roofing professionals can achieve chartered status (MCIOB) through a new route launched by the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) and the National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC).
The roofing chartered membership programme (CMP) is an accreditation pathway designed for professionals with at least five years’ experience in roofing and who manage people, processes or projects.
The initiative is part of CIOB’s growing range of sector-specific chartered membership programmes.
CIOB said that the CMP aligns with its commitment to raising standards and promoting professionalism across the built environment.
The roofing CMP combines CIOB’s expertise in professional education with NFRC’s understanding of the roofing industry. NFRC represents 70% of the roofing industry and has more than 1,200 members.
Adrian Montague, director of the CIOB Academy, said: “We are delighted to be working with NFRC to open up this new pathway for roofing professionals. The roofing CMP reflects CIOB’s mission to support all areas of the built environment in achieving excellence and professionalism.
“Through this initiative, experienced roofing specialists can now gain chartered recognition for the vital role they play in delivering quality and safety across the sector.”
James Talman, NFRC’s CEO, added: “This collaboration with CIOB gives our members a unique opportunity to gain chartered status through a programme designed specifically for their expertise. It’s a significant step forward in recognising roofing as a professional discipline in its own right.”
