Hands-on training in waterproofing, damp-proofing, and roof repairs – based on real site conditions and decades of manufacturing and contracting expertise.
All on-site training takes place at our facility in Laser Park, Honeydew — with a strong focus on practical, hands-on learning. Certificates are issued at the end of each training day.
All of our on-site courses take place on Saturdays, which prevents impact on production time during the week, and contractors are not obliged to pay their staff.
Learn the correct methods for applying torch-on, acrylic, bitumen, and cementitious waterproofing systems – based on real site conditions.
Learn how to properly diagnose and treat rising damp – not just cover the problem.
Understand how to correctly diagnose and repair roof leaks — avoiding costly mistakes.
Aquagard Training Academy is founded by the Napier family – a trusted name in waterproofing manufacturing since the 1970s and contracting since the 1990s.
With decades of hands-on experience across manufacturing, on-site application, and project execution, our training is built on real industry knowledge — not theory. We teach the systems, techniques, and standards used on site every day, ensuring you gain practical skills that deliver reliable, professional results.
