In-house Training

  • In-house ‘lunchtime’ CPD seminars (1-2 hours)
  • In-house half-day CPD seminars (3-4 hours)
  • On-site demonstrations (half or full day) – testing of a completed building including a report for benchmarking or compliance, identification and demonstration of air leakage paths and re-testing with problem areas sealed.  Enabling site staff/managers to understand the process and ‘feel’ the impact of their work.
  • On-site demonstration and seminars (half or full day) – as above, combined with the seminars from the Air Tightness Testing Explained programme.  Ideal for site and/or office staff.
