A Gargoyle Academy Deep-Immersion Mastery Training
This Elevated Exclusions 3-day course is designed for wildlife professionals. Elevate your exclusionary tasks to a mastery level. We bridge the gap between high-level safety and high-end craftsmanship. You will learn to navigate the most challenging roof pitches confidently and install custom-fabricated metal solutions and exclusion products that stand the test of time.
Students will learn to safely and professionally exclude nuisance wildlife through hands-on training provided by qualified and certified master instructors in a controlled environment. Learn the ins and outs; and ups and downs; of the evolving industry standards. Learn revenue increasing systems, processes, and procedures, to take your business and your team to new heights. This class will combine steep roof access, custom metal fabrication, and the installation of multiple industry leading exclusion products, while also testing your problem-solving skills.
Day one is hands-on learning of safety equipment, rope anchoring, first man up, positioning, self-rescue, etc., on the rooftop mockups.
Day two will be hands-on with different hand tools and brakes, learning various exclusion techniques, custom metal solutions, & multiple exclusion product installations on customized ground-level mockups.
Day three will be hands-on; on the roof top mockups; where students, using the skills learned in days 1 and 2, will experience real-world installation of exclusion techniques and products while on ladders, scaffolding, anchored ropes, vertical line suspension and different roof surfaces.
Students will train on several different siding surfaces, including d-log, cedar shake, shiplap, and vinyl. They will also practice different soffit return styles, gable corner styles, gable vent solutions, chimney cap installation, exhaust vent clean out, and replacement while suspended.
All Materials, tools and Equipment will be provided for the class. Students may bring their own personal harnesses, tool belts, impact drivers/drills, etc. Ensure they are clearly marked with the student's name. We must inspect and approve these before you can use them. Wear non-slip, closed-toed shoes and clothing suitable for working on rooftops.
A wild new world awaits you above the gutter line.
