Comprehensive training to ensure effective safety
Door controls must be installed and maintained correctly to ensure seamless everyday operation while preserving life safety in the event of a fire. Nowhere is this more important than in busy healthcare environments.
Rutland’s training sessions ensure that the right hardware is used in every location, is installed correctly, and adjusted for optimum operation. Our fire and security hardware training offers an interactive and practical training experience, tailored to address the specific knowledge needs of your team.
Who this training is for
Contractors: new installers, those looking to refresh their knowledge or anyone wanting an in-depth understanding of door controls
Councils and housing associations: Fire safety managers, heads of departments relating to fire safety, and staff having to inspect and/or maintain door controls
Training format
All training contains a one-hour theory section, with the option of practical hands-on instruction, which typically takes a further two hours.
Theory alone can be delivered online or in-person, but addition of the practical element obviously requires in-person delivery. In-person training can take place either at a location of your choice (training charges may apply, please ask your advisor when booking), or in the training suite at our Derbyshire headquarters.
1hr Theory (online or in-person)
2hr Practical instruction (optional)
