Training

Great Gates as part of the LinkCare Network is very concerned to promote safe and reliable installation of gates and gate automation equipment.

Several training courses are run at our site in St. Albans to cater for the needs of the industry. These courses are open to all, but are particularly relevant to those engaged in automatic gate installation on a regular basis.

The schedule consists of three main courses

1. The Introductory course is designed for newcomers into the automation industry from allied trades with a high level of competence in the use of tools and site safety which is pre-requisite for all courses. This course provides a good grounding in the all aspects of the automation industry including marketing, surveying, system design, and the installation of standard systems.

2. The Intermediate course is design for experienced automation engineers who want to apply for LinkCare Network Approved Installer status. This course covers the installation, configuration, commissioning and fault finding in detail and is designed to train engineers to be able to work on a wide variety of systems and brands by understanding the principals of automation systems.

3. The Advanced course concentrates on safety training, including risk assessment and system design with regard to European safety directives and dynamic force testing. This course is also a requirement for those who want to apply for LinkCare Network Approved Installer status.

All courses include both theoretical and practical aspects.

A nominal charge £30.00 + VAT is made for each course and early booking is advised as numbers are strictly limited.

The next term will start in September 2008. For a list of dates, booking forms and further details please call our head office on 01895 232626.
