AS part of its mandate to boost skills development in the timber construction sector, the Institute for Timber Construction South Africa (ITC-SA), the professional body for the engineered timber construction sector, will be hosting a CPD-accredited Roof Inspector Training Course at its head office in Isando from 7 to 9 May 2018.
With the aim to enable any technical person to conduct roof inspections with knowledge and insight, and registered persons to sign off roofs on their own, knowing that they speak with authority, the course covers a comprehensive technical overview of timber roof structures.
The course will include an introduction to timber roof structures, including basic terminology; the basics of timber structure design, framing and bracing; design considerations between light and heavily loaded timber roof structures; manufacturing of timber roof structures, transportation and storage; installation of timber roof structures; different timber roof structures and types of buildings; and case studies and experiences in roofing structures. The course will also include engaging site visits as well as a written evaluation.
This course has been CPD accredited by the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA) for 3 points. ECSA Validation No.: ITCSA-INS0817
Candidates wishing to obtain certificates will be assessed continually over the course during discussions and especially during the two site visits.
All candidates will receive the ITC-SA manuals for roof inspections.
Delegates should preferably have a year or more of post-matric education with science and mathematics, matric with involvement in roofs or Recognised Prior Learning (RPL).
According to the ITC-SA, engineers who are interested in expanding their knowledge and expertise in timber roof structures will greatly benefit from the course.
The cost is R6 325.
