Competency course in Shingle for the Roofing program. Instruction moves from demonstration to supervised practice to independent performance in the shop and live-work site, measured against the governing code and manufacturer specifications. Students build, install and inspect real work in Shingle and keep a shop log signed off by the instructor.
Why it matters. In Roofing, shingle is not a chapter to pass through but a skill an employer will pay for on day one; every credential exam in this program tests it directly or assumes it. The course runs in shop, against the code and the print, with the foreman as the standard of judgment.
How the course runs. 5 blocks of about 9.8 hours: orientation and safety first, then the tools and the vocabulary, then the standard that governs the work. Guided practice becomes independent practice; measurement and inspection teach the student to judge their own work; the fault lab teaches what failure looks like before it happens on a job. A timed production run and the documentation block close the loop, and the course ends with the written exam and the observed skills demonstration.
What competent looks like. The student can explain shingle, set up for it safely, perform it to the standard within time, spot and correct what is wrong, and write it up so that a stranger could verify the work.
