Fire Door Safety Training for all Functions within the Supply Chain

"I stumbled upon your company by complete chance when looking for a new provider for fire door inspections as a lot of course providers don’t seem to provide a great deal of information aside from the module basics, or provide online learning courses, which wouldn’t be ideal in demonstrating understanding when working with fire doors. Dan and Sara have both been amazing in helping provide more information about the course, what skills this will provide the engineers with, how this can be used and arranging the course. I spoke with our engineers to get some feedback following training and I had overwhelmingly positive feedback from the team. They stated that out of the many training courses we send our team on, this was one of the most informative, hands-on courses they had done. Usually, they would be shown a couple of doors, but the showroom had a wide range of doors for them to look over. They were worried about the testing aspect of the course, but after spending the whole day on site, they found it achievable, with all the information that was given to them throughout the day. They are already asking when they can come for the repair and maintenance course to upskill themselves further!"

The launch of FDM's Training Academy is exceptionally timely, coinciding with a significant phase of introspect ion within the construction industry. This introspection, fuelled by the demands of the Building Safety Act 2022, aims to enhance overall quality, compliance, and competence following a series of tragic events resulting in devastating loss of life.

A fire can cause devastating damage, resulting in property loss, injury, and even loss of life. That’s why we offer comprehensive services to ensure our clients have the best protection against fires and we have recently partnered with a local company FDM who have a likeminded attitude and passion towards the safety of all buildings and more importantly the people within.

I recently had the pleasure of a tour at UAP Limited, including the new FDM training facility. Keeping up to date with the learning pathways on the market is integral to what I do, so this was a visit well worth while! I absolutely love seeing forward thinking & collaboration used to effectively communicate the message for continued education around fire door safety. The facility offers an immersive learning experience, catering for different learning types with practical hands-on scenarios and resources.

FDM’s training facilities are industry leading. Having sat their Inspection course personally, I can say with confidence that this is the ‘go to’ practical/theory training centre in the UK. I strongly recommend anyone that is involved within the fire safety sector in the UK, to expand their skill set with FDM’s help and industry leading knowledge and accredited training courses.

The establishment of the UK's first practical fire door training centre by FDM represents a landmark development in fire safety education and practice. The comprehensive range of courses offered, coupled with the facility's focus on practical, hands-on learning, reflects a deep understanding of the complexities involved in fire door safety and maintenance.

As part of our commitment to improving fire safety across the industry, we are proud to be working with FDM in the creation of the Strongdor installation training programme. The programme will enable our installers to complete an independently accredited training course in the installation of Strongdor Fire doors. Ensuring quality, accuracy, and peace of mind for our customers.
