Yorkshire Independent Roof Training Group (YIRTG)

Supporting roofing businesses — now and into the future.

 

YIRTG is dedicated to helping roofing businesses access the training, advice, and support they need to grow and succeed.

 

While recent changes to CITB funding have significantly impacted the training landscape, our commitment to our members remains stronger than ever. We continue to evolve our services to deliver practical support, relevant guidance, and real value.

 


Supporting our members

We are focused on increasing member engagement and providing tailored support.

Members benefit from:

  • advice on training requirements
  • support in planning training programmes
  • guidance on alternative funding options
  • ongoing industry insight and support

Inspiring the next generation

We are passionate about promoting roofing careers to young people.

 

YIRTG works with primary schools, delivering interactive, hands-on activities that introduce pupils to construction at an early age. Research shows career aspirations are often formed in primary school, and we are proud to be one of the few organisations delivering this type of focused outreach.

 

We also support school, careers fairs and events, helping to raise awareness of careers in the industry and encourage the next generation into roofing.

 


 

Moving forward together

We are committed to supporting our members and investing in the future of the industry.
