What is CARE? The
Center For The Advancement Of Roofing Excellence
CARE is a not-for-profit roofing educational
organization:
• Founded in 1999 by GAF Materials
Corporation, Building Materials Corporation Of America,
and sponsored by The INDY Racing League®
• CARE offers professional, non-biased educational programs to the
roofing industry.
• Over 20,000 professionals in the USA, Canada & Mexico have
attended CARE courses!
Here's what people are saying about CARE
courses.
"If you get one thing out
of these seminars that helps your business its worth the time & money,
but I came out of this class with 5 or 6 new ideas!" –
Neal Thomas (K & P Roofing)
I just wanted to thank you for the
excellent training class you led for our Dallas/Ft. Worth Sales team...
everyone on the team felt it was an excellent investment of their time
and took things with them that would immediately impact their business...
looking forward to our next CARE training session. – Richard Bilanceri (Horn Brothers Roofing)
The roofing system instructional class was excellent!
Key installation Points you covered which are critical to a properly installed
roof system. There was something each participant could learn.
Thank you! –
Karen E. Petty John (Nationwide)
Why Take A CARE Course?
Roofing Can Be A Problematic Industry…
• Roofing is consistently a top complaint category to the Better
Business Bureau.
• Architects estimate that 50-75% of their litigation comes from
roofing.
• Thousands of dollars are wasted in roofing annually.
• In an NRCA study, "Roofer"
was listed #248 out of 250 desirable occupations.
• There is limited training available for roofing professionals.
|
CARE Is Committed To...
1) Non- Biased Content…
• CARE is not biased toward any single roofing technology.
• All roof systems have strengths and
weaknesses.
• Courses focus on the information needed
to make the right choices for
individual owners, buildings, and
budgets.
2) Avoiding
Common Mistakes…
• CARE courses focus first on how to avoid
the most common mistakes made
in roofing and roofing systems.
3) Not
just "What" but "Why"…
• Traditional training follows a "Do
This" approach—never
telling the student "Why" one way is better than another.
• CARE courses always use the "What
and Why" method
of
education for superior results and full understanding.
