This latest offering adds to a program suite that also includes a Professional Certificate in Roofing Estimating, or PREC, and a Certified Professional Roofing Estimator, or PREC certification.
These training courses are invaluable for anyone eager to start their career as an estimator. There is much more to estimating than measuring a rooftop or learning local building codes. The training programs offer an easy-to-follow format that takes you step by step through every critical aspect of estimating.
Cotney developed this program in conjunction with subject matter from professional experts whose primary role is to oversee and manage all aspects of estimating a roofing project.
This multi-step process provides training and recognition for the industry workforce. The estimator training course offers nine modules covering everything from roofing skills and techniques to materials, essential math, code requirements, bidding, etc. After each module, participants will take a short quiz and finish the course with a multiple-choice test, now available in Spanish.
Once you have learned the essential functions of a roofing estimator, including estimating labor, materials, accessories, and time, and the various building codes and roof designs, you learn how to coordinate with clients, project managers, engineers, and architects. The course offers excellent tips to help you plan and organize.
Move on to the Professional Certificate in Roofing Estimating, which covers curb flashing, gravel stop flashing, parapet wall flashing and several opportunities to practice estimating for flat and sloped rooftops.
Then, advance by applying for the Certified Professional Roofing Estimator certification. You will show off your newfound slope, low slope, and steep slope roof design skills and present a technical estimating proposal.
“With the Roofing Estimating Training Program, you put yourself on a career path to becoming a certified professional roofing estimator,” says John Kenney, CEO of Cotney Consulting Group. “Becoming a successful estimator can take years. After taking these courses, you can build your expertise and eventually become a senior estimator, then a director of estimating to lead your team.”
