The Lead Sheet Training Academy is pleased to announce that the 2018 edition of the Rolled Lead Sheet Manual is now in stock.

As we had sold out of the 2016 edition we took the opportunity to make some minor updates and amendments to the Manual and rebrand it to reflect the fact it is now overseen by the LSTA.

This valuable resource for the construction industry will continue to be produced by the LSTA in the future, overseen by an editorial board with representatives from across the industry.

The new Manual is available online as an e-Book and also as a printed copy.

The printed version is £45 plus postage and packing and also gives you free access to the e-book. If you want to buy the online version only, it is £35.

Place your order and either pay online or download an order form.

The Lead Sheet Training Academy is now a provider of City & Guilds Accredited Programmes. This means all the courses have been approved by City & Guilds, giving anyone undertaking them a nationally recognised qualification.

The courses provide a natural progression for those who want to gain a recognised qualification in leadwork or hard metal craft. Three courses are available in each material and cover basic, intermediate and advanced skills. Course length ranges from 5 to 15 days and as they are all approved CITB Short-duration courses grant funding is available for CITB-registered construction businesses.

To find out more about how these courses could help improve your lead and hard metal skills visit or call us to discuss your training needs.

The LSTA has been appointed by CITB as the UK’s sole provider of Specialist Applied-skills Programmes in lead and hard metals. Formerly known as the Specialist Apprenticeship Programme, both courses are a mixture of attendance at the training centre and on-site experience and assessment, and will take up to 18 months to complete.

SAP courses normally have three intakes a year and candidates will be required to attend for the initial week. Subsequent training days can be arranged to suit your needs.

As the SAP CITB approved some of the costs can be covered by grants for CITB-registered construction businesses.
