Don't just take our word for it! See some of our positive feedback:


"Following your training with our office staff, their confidence has grown significantly. It has enabled them to interpret engineer's parts requests accurately which in turn is ensuring a faster turnaround for our customers and saving costs to the department. Instead of having 2 people looking at the parts requests the staff are confident they are quoting the correct parts.

Kelly Coward – Facilities Management Co‑ordinator – Altegra

"I’ve attended both the DFA127, STA20 and FTA basic training courses and they have helped me massively in training to become an Estimator in the Automatic Door Industry. The STA20 training has made everything so much clearer with understanding the difference between a pocket screen, the RIC290 and AIS290. I would highly recommend both these training courses to anyone with or without experience."

Hannah Nuttall - Estimator - ADC Door Company

"The training sessions run bare a great intro into the world of automatic door operators for our sales and estimation team. It covered all the necessary features of the products and their components that are available and also what factors need to be considered when discussing a project with the client."

Dan Buckham - Head of Technical Support - Safetell
