2 Ways to Train

Online Training (Installers & Merchants)
Train anywhere you choose

Installers
Our flat-pack rigs are CNC-cut and delivered straight to you. Assemble the rig, follow our online step-by-step tutorials, and practise each installation detail at your own pace. Answer questions after each module and upload videos and photos of your work for expert review, repeating the process until it’s perfect, to achieve FlexiProof Certified Installer status. No time pressure. No travel. Just practical, high-standard training on your terms.

Merchants
Completely free and online, our self-paced, on-demand training gives your team the knowledge and confidence to advise customers, boost sales, and position your business as a go-to supplier for EPDM flat roofing – all without leaving the workplace. With step-by-step video modules, your staff can learn at their own pace from the branch, office, or even at home, gaining a clear understanding of our EPDM systems, their benefits, and how to provide expert customer support.

Cleaning Up the Industry - One Roof at a Time

Let’s be honest, poor EPDM installations have tarnished the flat roofing trade for too long. Quick, poorly trained installations, rushed certifications and a race to the bottom have left clients disappointed and professionals under-equipped.


We’re here to change that. Whether you're a sole trader, a growing team, or a large-scale merchant, our training is about more than just ticking boxes, it’s about restoring pride in the trade and eliminating substandard work from the industry.

    Designed for the Real World

We understand the challenges - sending teams away for training can mean time off the tools, travel expenses, and lost revenue. And in the UK, the weather rarely plays fair. That’s why our remote training kits are the perfect solution for downtime, evenings, or wet days, giving you the freedom to train when it suits you best.
