Certification is a multi-step process. We will need you to hold a city and guilds spraying qualification (these are available and can be CITB funded). A second stage is a course with us at ThermaCoteUK (which is free) where we take you through a range of requirements, explain the sales and leads process as well as how the guarantee works and all the documentation that is required. There will be two strains of this second course as the sales and lead process will not be needed by everyone. Please note, each individual will need to hold the city and guilds qualification not just one person from a company as we need to maintain the reputation and credibility of the product and those applying it. We want happy customers! We can put you in touch with a firm who can do the spray training and we will be running the second stage courses at least twice per month online and once per month at the NSBRC site at Swindon. Please contact us at applicator@thermacoteuk.com to learn more about the approved applicator process.
