The ABLOY Academy Foundations Course is a full-day, free to attend, face-to-face training offering. Suitable for locksmiths, system installers, security managers, lock centres, end-users and architects / specifiers.

It covers the majority of standards applicable to door sets, from hinges to door selectors, in simple to understand chunks.

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.

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 ABLOY UK only specifies compliant solutions.

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.

If you or your business supply, specify, or install access control / blocking as part of an access control system, this course is essential in educating you on minimum performance criteria, and the implication of non-compliant specification.

If you attended a course over two years ago, please book a place and update your knowledge with the latest information.

The ABLOY Academy is led by our Commercial Director, Patrick Jefferies Dip GAI and offers delegates free, face-to-face compliance training.
