NHBC (National House-building Council), the UK’s leading warranty provider and standards setting body for new build homes, has booked almost 50 places with Chiltern International Fire (CIF) for its Fire Doors Explained (FDE) training courses this year – and would not hesitate to recommend the course to other bodies.
Manager of NHBC’s Technical Services Academy Neil Herries said, ‘Our Building Inspectors take fire safety very seriously and need to have the practical knowledge to be decisive when carrying out inspections on new homes under construction. This type of training raises their awareness of any issues with fire doors, enabling them to put the safety of homeowners at the top of our agenda.’
FDE was recommended to NHBC several years ago, he added. ‘We have found that CIF’s training objectives synchronise very well with our training needs and the feedback from our Inspectors is always very positive. The training is delivered in a very practical, hand on style and this works well for us.’
Mr Herries continued, ‘I have recommended Fire Doors Explained to other organisations. Almost without exception, our Building Inspectors who attend this course find it comprehensive, practical and informative and of great benefit to them in their day to day role.’
2012 Fire Doors Explained dates will be released shortly.
