Insulation and Waterproofing Works

Overview
Insulation and Waterproofing Works, known in Arabic as أعمال العزل, introduces you to the moisture and surface problems that every construction and finishing crew has to deal with before a building is sealed and painted. You will learn to recognize the signs of dampness on a wall, understand why cracks form in exterior walls, and see why solving a water leak has to happen before any finishing or painting work begins.
This is a 6-month program: 75 hours of classroom and hands on training followed by 3 months of supervised practical work, where you apply what you learned on active sites alongside experienced workers. The full program costs 850 USD.
