Armour CI course gains CEDIA accreditation

Armour’s recently-launched training course, ‘Custom Installation - Foundation Knowledge’, has gained CEDIA Accreditation. This means CEDIA members can now earn 6 CEU points for attending this one day course.

The course was launched by the Armour Training Academy in September, at Armour’s new training facility, sited within Alphason’s impressive new premises at Hindley Green, near Manchester. It is said to instil the essential knowledge required to successfully complete custom installation projects and is already proving very popular.

Ashley Hutchinson, Armour’s category manager responsible for the Academy told us: “Within the Armour technical and training team we believe it’s essential to maintain a high level of professionalism throughout our industry and that certain minimum standards and best practices must be taught to installers as early as possible in their careers. This course is designed to aid that process, with resulting benefits for both the consumer and the CI industry as a whole.”

The one day seminar covers every aspect of a custom installation, from creating a relationship with the customer and establishing a budget, to purchasing schedules and service contracts.

“I attended the foundation custom installation course at Armour’s new Hindley Green offices,” said Martyn Brierley of ‘HG Lifestyle’, the CI division of Harry Garlick.

“The facilities were excellent and the course content very useful. I am already a Cedia certified level one installer and level one designer, so I was unsure if the foundation nature of the course might be below my requirements but was pleased to find it both relevant and extremely beneficial.”

Foundation Knowledge Custom Installation courses cost £99+VAT. The next scheduled dates for this course - with places still available - are Monday 19 January 2009, Thursday 26 February 2009 and Wednesday 11 March 2009 (all in Bishops Stortford) for further information and booking please contact Hannah Creasey on 01279-719948 or hannah.creasey@armourhome.co.uk
