One of the most commonly used materials available for roofs is asphalt shingles. This 2-hour interactive online course covers a variety of topics related to asphalt shingles, such as underlayment requirements, ventilation and potential problems with shingles. Asphalt shingles are very common on residential roofs in much of the United States and are also used on smaller commercial buildings. Because they are so common, proper use, specification and design of asphalt shingle roofs are often overlooked. This course will provide guidance for designers of new asphalt shingle roofs and some guidance on replacement requirements for existing roofs.

There is a test included at the end of this course.
