WHO THIS IS FOR

You've got the ticket. This is what sits on top of it.

GAPP is manufacturer-led accreditation for licensed waterproofers and trade professionals. It is not an RTO qualification and it is not trying to be. What you get is current standards, verified detailing, a manufacturer behind your application, and a card that tells a builder you do it properly.

Trainers have twenty-plus years on the tools. Classes are capped, so you are on the tools and asking about your own jobs, not sitting in a lecture.

TIME & FORMAT

Two afternoons online. One day on the tools.

The online sessions run three hours each and cover the standards, the code, and where water damage actually starts. Can't make the live sessions? We send you the recordings so you can work through them before your practical date.

The hands-on day comes to you. We run practical sessions across NSW, QLD, VIC, SA and WA, applying Gripset systems to Australian standards under a trainer who has spent twenty years doing this work. Classes are capped, so you get hands on the product and answers about your own jobs, not someone else's.

Five Star Rating

The GAPP course was concise, well-structured and the instructors were super informative on industry standards. I had the pleasure of being taught by Shandy who provided us with step-by-step instructions to waterproof different applications. It was brilliant!

I was able to learn a lot about current waterproofing techniques and standards as well as learn how to actually apply the Gripset products to Australian standards. It was a great environment to learn in as the groups were small and it feels more personal in they way they teach the course.
