This course is designed to develop the lead skills of those working on weathering systems. Candidates will undertake training to achieve standards of competence required to safely produce lead roof components using welding and bossing techniques.

The aim of the course is to provide Continuing Professional Development (CPD) in a relaxed and friendly manner, for the development of lead skills for people working on weathering systems. Candidates will undertake training and receive guidance to successfully achieve the standards of competence required to safely produce lead roofing components using the bossing and welding techniques.
