Local contractor FIRESTONE quality training
The Firestone Contractor Quality Training Programs focus on the quality installation of EPDM, TPO, asphalt and UNA-CLAD Metal roofing systems and are designed to help the Firestone Contractor build a winning team - a team that is #1 in quality and profitability. Each seminar highlights products, systems, seam installations and details.

Local training held at Contractor locations upon request. These programs are designed to provide the basics of the Firestone systems as well as targeting the specific needs of participants. Local training can be arranged through the Regional Technical Manager or the local Sales Manager.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Firestone training seminars and video programs are targeted to the key employees - the estimators, project managers, superintendents, crew leaders and skilled installers who are directly responsible for achieving roof installation quality. The programs will provide a balanced approach to training, using both classroom activities along with ample opportunities for hands-on practice.
