The ProCertified Roofing Foreman certification ensures that a foreman has extensive technical and safety knowledge, communication and leadership skills.

To be eligible to become an NRCA ProCertified Roofing Foreman, you must have enough experience and working knowledge of roof system installation practices and industry-specific safety practices to recognize when an installer is not following the manufacturer's requirements or is violating a safety regulation.

To demonstrate your knowledge and experience, you can do one of the following:

Option A: Hold an NRCA ProCertified roof system installer certification in the roof system in which you want to be designated

Option B: Have two or more years of experience as a roofing foreman overseeing installation of the roof system in which you want to be designated
Eligibility also requires a supervisor to verify in writing he or she has observed you consistently:

Responding to safety and quality violations in a timely fashion
Motivating installers
Modeling professional behavior
Demonstrating effective leadership

The certification corresponds to a specialty within a recognized occupation. For example, Oncology Nurse and Pediatric Nurse are specialties within the nursing field, so Certified Oncology Nurse and Certified Pediatric Nurse would be classified as specialty certifications.
