Academy of roofing

Who We Are and What We Offer…

The DMG Academy of Roofing is the first of its kind in North Lanarkshire, launched by DMG Services Group Ltd. The Academy was founded in response to industry demands to tackle the growing skills shortage in the UK and to provide the quality specialist training which, until now was unavailable.

All apprentices who attend the academy will work towards their SVQ – an important part of their roofing apprenticeship framework. Under the guidance of experienced tutors, apprentices will gain fundamental roofing skills. They will also acquire a thorough knowledge of construction health and safety including working at heights and the correct use of hand tools.

The DMG Academy of Roofing is committed to giving our students the tools, training, and development that they need to grow into skilled roofing tradespeople.
