Fire Door Installation Training

We're here to support fire door installers and help them to improve. That's why we offer two different training courses for installers, depending on their level of experience.

  • Practical Installation Course for Timber-Based Fire Doors - This is a hands-on, comprehensive course on how to install a fire door so that it meets UK building regulation standards. It's intended for people looking to learn or improve on their installation skills.
  • Installation Training Module - This is more intended for those who already have the necessary practical installation skills, but require more knowledge around the regulations for timber-based fire doors. Information on this course will apply to both existing and new build properties

Successful delegates will receive a Firequal-approved certificate upon finishing the course, which is valid for 5 years. Training can be conducted:

  • Remotely, at your home or workplace

No matter your location or schedule, we want our fire door trianing to be accessible to all.

Why do I need fire door training?

Since the Grenfell tragedy, the UK government has introduced new legislation on how fire doors are installed and maintained. However, there are also new laws concerning the competency requirements for installers. Housing, healthcare and education are all sectors that demand their fire door installers to have suitable qualifications. Without these qualifications, installers may face government fines, or struggle to find work.

Upon completing one of our fire door training courses, each delegate will receive a Firequal-approved certificate of achievement, which is valid for 5 years.

Our founder, Neil Ashdown, is regarded as one of the leading experts in fire door safety. Following his lead, our training courses are grounded in practicality and real-life situations. They are clear, comprehensive, and jargon-free. Our priority is that you feel confident in installing safe and effective fire doors that can save lives.

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.
