The next ASSA ABLOY Academy Foundations Course will be taking place on March 28, 2024 and will be hosted by Patrick Jefferies, who is Commercial Director at ASSA ABLOY.

The course is free to attend and offers delegates face-to-face training via ASSA ABLOY’s renowned Foundations courses at their Willenhall headquarters in the West Midlands.

The courses provide locksmiths, security managers, end users, specifiers and installers insight into the standards and legal requirements for compliant electric locking solutions.

The Foundations Course is a full-day course that is suitable for installers, security managers, lock centres, end users and specifiers. It covers the majority of standards applicable to door sets, from hinges to door selectors, in simple to understand sections.

Helping you to understand the needs of a door from its location within the building and the use that the door is subject to. Teaching you how to recognise “Fire Doors”, particularly now that The Constructions Product Regulations dictate the use of fire tested hardware.

The course will help you understand the escape risks and regulations applicable to public buildings, i.e. non-residential. These standards and their use are explained in detail, ensuring that we only specify compliant solutions.

In addition, you’ll be informed of The Regulatory Reform Order changes to specifiers / installers responsibility as well as the end users, as self assessment escape requirements have become mandatory within the work place.

Course notes will be provided, in the form of “Best Practice Guides”, covering the majority of the standards covered. To register for the course, click here.
