Yes, we offer roofing classes for Spanish speaking candidates in Illinois. Spanish speaking roofers built much of Illinois, but the state roofing license exam is offered only in English. That language gap has stopped thousands of skilled Latino roofers from going from worker to licensed roofing contractor.

Latino workers make up a major share of the Illinois roofing industry. Many bring 10 plus years of hands on installation experience but have never tested for a state license because the exam is in English.
That gap costs Spanish speaking roofers two things:
Unfortunately, the odds are stacked against espanol speaking professionals despite the fact that you make up a large percentage of roofers in Illinois. Illinois Roofing Institute exists to close both gaps with a classroom built for español speakers.
Illinois Roofing Institute is the roofing academy built for serious roofing professionals across IL. We have personally helped thousands of roofers earn their Illinois roofing license through focused classroom training and exam prep.
Our students see a 99% pass rate on their first attempt at the Illinois roofing exam. That number reflects how we structure each class around the exact content tested on the Illinois 105 roofing exam.
Our Spanish classes cover every topic on the Illinois roofing exam in español. The instructor walks students through residential and commercial roofing systems, building codes, and the Illinois Roofing Industry Licensing Act.
Each class day ends with a practice exam graded in real time. Students leave knowing exactly which sections they have mastered and where to focus before exam day. We teach you:
Our Spanish classes are taught by bilingual instructors (Dalia & Dante) who understand both the roofing trade and the cultural realities of Latino students. They explain technical terms in Spanish, then teach the English vocabulary you need for the exam.
The classroom is built for adults who work full time on roofs. We keep the pace steady, use real job site examples, and never make a student feel embarrassed for asking a question in either language.
Every roofing contractor in Illinois must hold a license issued by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR). IDFPR issues two license tiers. Choosing the right one depends on the type of work you plan to do.
Most of our Spanish speaking students go straight to the Unlimited license. It opens both residential and commercial roofing in one step.
Filing the application is where many Spanish speaking roofers get stuck. The forms are in English, the deadlines are strict, and the bond and insurance paperwork has to match exactly what IDFPR requires.
Illinois Roofing Institute walks every Spanish speaking student through the full filing process. Our support continues after the class ends, all the way through your final license approval.
