Once you’ve selected your CPDs they will be delivered by your AccuRoof Technical Manager either digitally or in-person at a time that best suits you and your team. The presentations typically last 45 minutes but can be tailored to your needs and leave plenty of time for questions.

A CPD is a great way to familiarise yourself with the AccuRoof team, especially your local Technical Manager as they are your main point of contact for project specific support or advice. Their extensive roofing knowledge can add great value to your project.

We have a variety of CPD topics to choose from that cover the most popular content we are requested to deliver.

Our presentations last approximately 45 minutes and can take place at a time to suit you are your team. They can also either be held at your offices, our offices or over Teams or Zoom – what ever works best for you.

These interactive sessions are your chance to ask what ever you need to to help develop your knowledge in a particular area further.

The CPD of your choice will be delivered by the AccuRoof Technical Manager, who is also there to support you throughout your project.

The structure of the CPD can be flexible to suit your needs and ensure you get the most you can from the session.
