Fire Door Awareness Training

Working together with the National Open College Network (NCON) and the British Woodworking Federation, we are qualified to deliver training on fire door installation awareness. This two-day course is just one of the training programmes we offer that are designed to educate fabricators on UK building regulations.

After the Grenfell tragedy, it's vital that we take every measure to keep buildings and their occupants safe. As such, the government has introduced new laws concerning the competency requirements for installers and fabricators. Housing, healthcare, and education are all sectors that could face significant fines for not complying. Therefore, fabricators need to ensure that their products are up to regulation standard if their products are to be used.

Our aim is to ensure that fabricators fully understand and are compliant with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety Order) 2005. We strive to make fire door safety as clear, comprehensive and jargon-free as possible. After successfully completing one of our courses, delegates will receive a Firequal-approved certificate of achievement that is valid for 5 years.

Just a note, as you know, I have studied a LOT but I have to say, I`m about halfway through the video presentation and for all the study I`ve done, this is by far THE BEST training I have encountered 😊 Kudos to you, I don't know how long it took you to compile this course but WOW 😯 I`ll study, re-study then re-study again then read the book and keep taking the test, if anybody wants/needs training I`ll definitely be sending them your way, wish I purchased your course first, (although then I wouldn't know how good your one is 😆) thanks so much.

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.
