Fire Door Maintenance (FDM) is delighted to announce that the Association for Composite Door Manufacturers (ACDM) has unanimously voted for FDM to be its training partner. The decision was made at ACDM’s recent AGM, and members will now form a training steering group to assist with future course materials to be released later this year.
FDM opened the doors to its purpose-built, 3,000ft² Training Academy in Bury, Greater Manchester early in 2024. The centre combines classroom and hands-on experience for installers, inspectors, specifiers, and fire safety specialists and professionals. Out of the current 22 different types of fire door and component rooms for hands on practical training experience – there is a total of nine composite doors from various manufacturers. FDM currently offers a specific composite door inspection course accredited by GQA.
Nicola John, FDM’s Managing Director, who has more than 20 years industry experience, commented: “FDM was set up to be a training centre by Industry for Industry and to date we have over 30 partners who have supplied products for the learners to get hands on experience whatever course they chose.
“Because of this, plus the space and scope we have at the training centre, we are able to run a bespoke composite course where learners get to see first-hand how a composite door is engineered.
“It is important for inspectors, installers and maintainers to learn more about composite doors to keep them up to manufacturing and test standards when in the field.
“As part of the syllabus, we show test videos to show composite doors burning under test conditions and we explore test evidence and fields of application in relation to past and present legislation.
“Training is centred around the legislation, composition, components and manufacturing of composite doors to give the learners increased knowledge.”
If you have any questions, would like to book a tour of the centre, or if you would like to discuss potential partnership or collaboration opportunities, please get in touch with Dan Cope, Sales Director at FDM.
