Current availability
The subject-specific curriculum is authored but not yet published for completion. Learners may inspect its scope and learning design now. Start, grading, and completion remain unavailable until every listed gate passes.
- qualified review approval is required
- reviewer identity, qualification, evidence, and approval date are required
What this course establishes
- Survey a fictional steep- or low-slope roof and separate structure, deck, moisture, drainage, ventilation and covering defects
- Create fictional tear-off, substrate, water-control, material, layout, access, weather and quantity plans from controlled requirements
- Audit fictional installation, leak diagnosis, inspection, handoff and quality evidence without accessing or disturbing a roof
Entry knowledge
- Arithmetic, area, slope, units, drawing and specification literacy, weather awareness and disciplined stop-work communication
- Ability to distinguish structure/deck, air/vapor/thermal layers, underlayment, membrane/covering, flashing, drainage, edge and penetration
- Commitment to fall prevention, public/occupant protection, heat and weather controls, accessible routes and material traceability
Scope boundaries
- All buildings, roofs, occupants, samples, products and records are fictional. Learners must not access a roof; climb or use ladders, scaffolds, lifts or hoists; erect fall protection; tear off, cut, grind, torch, heat, adhere, fasten or install roofing; disturb suspected asbestos/lead/silica/mold; handle hot asphalt, propane, solvents or sharp/heavy materials; or perform leak testing through this course.
- This is not apprenticeship credit, supervised experience, contractor/business license, fall-protection competent-person or qualified-person designation, scaffold/lift/hoist authorization, hot-work permit, asbestos/lead credential, structural inspection authority, solar/electrical authorization, manufacturer approval, college credit or professional certification.
- Only current adopted code, structural/design documents, manufacturer instructions and approvals, site-specific fall/weather/fire plans, qualified personnel and authorities having jurisdiction govern real work. Internal completion or a fastest route never predicts safe performance, watertightness, wind/fire compliance, warranty acceptance or employment.
Fastest competency route
Completion is self-paced and competency-based. Prior knowledge may shorten conceptual study only when assembly, water path, material, weather, access and inspection evidence remain traceable. Hands-on proficiency, supervised hours, fall/access qualifications and manufacturer approvals remain external; no fastest-hour, credential, warranty or employment promise is made.
- Pass diagnostics on roof assembly, moisture, drainage, materials, quantities, fall/access, weather, preparation, installation and inspection
- Repair every planted defect in the fictional roofing audit
- Complete and defend the roofing project dossier
Full self-paced route
- Survey, assembly, deck, moisture, drainage, ventilation and scope
- System selection, estimating, tear-off, access, weather and staging
- Installation sequence, flashing, inspection, leak diagnosis, handoff and quality
- Applied roofing project dossier
Lesson and assessment map
Roof survey, assembly, moisture, drainage, and scope
Translate a fictional roof request into a safe, traceable assembly and failure model.
4 questions: recall, application, judgment, and error correction.
Roof systems, estimating, fall/access controls, weather, and staging
Create a fictional material and production plan that preserves structural, weather and fall boundaries.
4 questions: recall, application, judgment, and error correction.
Installation sequence, flashing, inspection, leak diagnosis, and quality
Audit fictional roof installation and closeout evidence against assembly and water-management requirements.
4 questions: recall, application, judgment, and error correction.
Required applied assignment
Roofing project and water-management dossier
Repair the fictional roofing audit and create one paper-only dossier from survey and assembly through system selection, estimate, fall/weather controls, installation details, inspection, leak diagnosis, handoff and quality. Perform no roof access, material disturbance, fall-system setup, hot work, application, fastening, lifting or testing.
- Roof-zone, assembly, defect, moisture, drainage, structure and hazard matrix
- System/product approval, area/accessory takeoff, layout, waste and staging/load evidence
- Fall/access/rescue, weather/heat, public, fire and regulated-material boundaries
- Deck release, layer sequence, fastening/adhesion, flashing and detail inspection records
- Leak diagnosis, warranty/maintenance handoff and quality dashboard with duplicate repair, denominators, missingness and balancing measures
Passing standard: 80 of 100 points, with substantive revision required.
Continue after this course
- Verify apprenticeship, licensing, code, fall/access, hazardous-material, hot-work, environmental and product-approval requirements for the intended location and roof system
- Complete supervised shop and field training on exact steep- and low-slope assemblies, tools, access systems and weather conditions
- Maintain demonstrated deck, material, attachment/adhesion, flashing, inspection, fall-control, heat and continuing-competence records
