As consumers regularly use the internet as a source for reliable and trustworthy referrals, professionals are increasingly considering training schemes in a bid to help promote their business to a wider range of consumers. Becoming accredited in further skillsets not only enables them to reflect their high standard of expertise and experience but also aids them in securing more work. Cedral is one such company supporting tradespeople in further developing their skills, giving them an edge within such a competitive industry.

The Cedral Select Recognised Installer scheme has been specifically designed to support individuals in becoming fully competent in the application of Cedral fibre cement cladding. Its aim is to support them in securing a greater level of projects, whilst giving consumers a choice of tradespersons who offer the highest standard of workmanship.

The scheme hosts specific training events that educate individuals on the benefits of Cedral and how to correctly install it. This ensures the work is being carried out to the highest standard and customers can be confident the work is being completed to the manufacturer’ s guidelines.

For homeowners, deciding to change the exterior of their home is a substantial investment, so they are looking to hire the most skilled and reliable professionals. This is why the Cedral Select Recognised Installer scheme was created, to provide training, resources and ongoing support. It also allows contractors to attend a range of training courses that can extend their knowledge base, and ultimately aid upcoming projects.
