In-depth training for those who install, inspect & maintain fire doors.

Since the Grenfell tragedy, the UK government has introduced new legislation on how fire doors are installed and maintained. However, there are also requirements concerning competency for installers, fabricators, inspectors and maintainers. Housing, healthcare and education are all sectors that demand their fire door installers, inspectors and maintenance contractors to have the suitable qualifications.

Our training courses aim to make fire door safety as clear, comprehensive and jargon-free as possible. Upon completing one of our fire door training courses, each delegate will receive a certificate of achievement.

Just a big thank you following the recent FDC FD Inspectors Course. It was a really worthwhile couple of days where I learnt a lot and developed through practice and professional discussion. The input was well thought out and offered a real move forward after the other courses on fire doors I've undertaken. Thanks for the time taken, really worthwhile.
