New training partnership for composite door fire training
Association for Composite Door Manufacturers chooses FDM as official partner .
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 , 3,000ft ² 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 .”
