We’re incredibly proud to share that FDM Training & Development has been shortlisted for Training Provider of the Year at the Fire & Security Matters Awards 2025!

And the celebrations don’t stop there – our Managing Director, Nicola John, is also a finalist for Fire Industry Woman of the Year!

Raising Standards in Fire Door Training

At FDM, we specialise in delivering fire door training courses that are not only fully accredited but designed to meet the real-world needs of today’s fire safety professionals. Whether you’re an installer, inspector, or facilities manager, our courses give you the knowledge and confidence to carry out your responsibilities to the highest standard.

Fire doors are a critical part of any building’s fire safety strategy – and getting their installation and maintenance right can save lives. That’s why we’re committed to providing training that goes beyond ticking boxes and focuses on genuine competence and compliance.

Why This Recognition Matters

Being shortlisted for Training Provider of the Year is a huge honour and a real testament to the hard work of our entire team. It reflects our ongoing mission to improve fire safety through accessible, high-quality education and hands-on learning.

From fire door awareness to advanced inspections and compliance, our courses are:

Delivered by industry experts with real-life experience
Flexible – available online, in-person, or on-site
Up-to-date with the latest fire safety legislation and best practices
Built around practical application, not just theory

Celebrating Nicola John – Leadership That Inspires
