The programme is designed for individuals with at least five years’ experience in roofing who manage people, processes, or projects, offering the opportunity to gain professional accreditation that their skills knowledge and leadership within the industry.

As part of CIOB’s growing range of sector-specific Chartered Membership Programmes, the Roofing CMP aligns with the Institute’s commitment to raising standards and promoting professionalism across the built environment. Under the banner “Pathway to Professionalism”, the course supports participants in achieving MCIOB status, a globally respected status that demonstrates competence, integrity, and education to a high standard.

Programmes such as the new Roofing CMP are becoming increasingly important as proof of competency requirements under the Building Safety Act 2022 (BSA) come into force.

Chartered membership of CIOB provides professionals with access to a worldwide network of industry experts, continuous professional development opportunities, and enhanced career prospects. MCIOB members are recognised as trusted leaders committed to upholding the highest standards in construction management.

The Roofing CMP has combined CIOB’s expertise in professional education with NFRC’s deep understanding of the roofing industry. This collaboration ensures the course is fully aligned with the needs of modern roofing professionals and the demands of today’s construction landscape.

Adrian Montague, Director of 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.”
