The World Championship is an international event where young professionals demonstrate their skills and competencies in a competitive environment. The participants come from different countries and have the opportunity to compete in the disciplines of facade, flat roof, pitched roof or metal roof.
The main objective of the World Professional Championships is to promote vocational education, improve the quality of training and increase the recognition of craft and professional skills. The event is held every two years and offers participants the opportunity to compete internationally and learn new skills from each other.
The competitions are very challenging and cover a wide range of skills. Participants are judged by experts/judges who contribute their expertise and experience in the respective fields.
