Welcome to the Sealco Membrane Academy information page. Please find the following information on our Sealco Membrane Training Academy. This training is a 3 stage process which gives full in-depth membrane skills from an experienced trainer to enable you to confidently install the desired Sealco Ltd product to a very high level of quality finish.
Practical and theory training in our training facility. This includes product knowledge, building industry training and practical installation on the purpose built modules. There will be an element of classroom training and there will be both a practical and theory assessment on the completion of the training session. Depending on the skill level of the trainees, the training can take from 4-6 hours.
This first stage is to provide the installer with basic application techniques to be able to transfer out into the construction place. It should also give the installer basic knowledge on what to look out for before, during and on completion of the membrane application.
On-site assessments are carried out on completion of projects. This is to be carried out by a Sealco Ltd technical representative at a time suitable to both the installer and Sealco Ltd.
This assessment gives our technical representative the opportunity to assess the skill level of the installer in “real-world” conditions and how the application and completed finished project has been carried out and finished. Then assessor will ask the installer questions about how they prepared the substrate, how they installed the product, how they finished (detailed) and if there were any issues they needed to overcome.
Sealco Ltd will help guide the installer through a nationally recognised qualification such as the ITO National Certificate in Membranes or the Licence Building Practitioner program. The installer will initiate the programme and Sealco will be able to assist and confirm with the assessor of the skill level of the installer to enable achievement of the desired program or certificate.
