b'CERTA NEWSCERTA Train-The-Trainer Class A Full HouseO n November 1st, in conjunction with the MRCA Expo and Conference, MRCA sponsored a CERTA Train-The-Trainer Class and the class was sold out.CERTA stands for Certified Roofing Torch Applicator Program.The Program is ideal for contractors whose work involves torch applications.These programs train experienced roof system installers on the safe use of roofing torches used to apply polymer-modified bitumen roofing products.CERTA training shows how proper roof system configuration design and application techniques can result in fire-safe installations.The CERTA Program is jointly sponsored by MRCA and NRCA and both organizations work together to make sure the program is updated and provides the best practices and new industry requirements for torching activities.MRCA is continuing to work with local roofing associations, as well as individual roofing contractors, to promote CERTA and to bring CERTA Train-The-Trainer and Applicator training classes to areas throughout the country.In addition, CERTA had a booth in the MRCA EXPO Show area where contractors could come by and get answered any questions they may have about CERTA.Anyone interested in providing a Train-The-Trainer Class or Applicator Class can contact MRCA.MRCA will be happy to make the arrangementsFor more information, contact Bob Pope, MRCA Executive Director at: (800) 497-6722 or mrca@mrca.orgSHOULD I BE TAPPING THIS MEMBERSHIP BENEFIT THAT IS WORTH OVER $1,700.00?
