Hochiki Europe has added a new course to the Hochiki Training Academy, giving installers, specifiers and distributors free access to training on the FIREbeam beam smoke detection range.
The new course covers the fundamentals of beam smoke detection and introduces both products in the range: FIREbeam Xtra, Hochiki’s addressable beam smoke detector, and FIREbeam Conex, its conventional equivalent, alongside the accessories available across the range. Beam detectors are designed for buildings with large, open interiors where point detection would be impractical, including warehouses, shopping centres, sports halls, museums, hotel atriums and transport terminals. By completing the course, installers and specifiers working on these kinds of projects can build their confidence in the range before they need to specify or install it on site. The course is free to access for anyone who registers on the Academy.
The Hochiki Training Academy is a free online learning platform built for anyone working with Hochiki products, including installers, distributors, specifiers and facilities teams. Courses are entirely online, so learners can study at their own pace and fit training around their schedule, wherever they are in the world. Each course finishes with an end assessment that leads to certification on completion.
In just a few short years, the Academy has grown to over 2,000 users and become a recognised and respected training resource for businesses across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and beyond. That growth has been reflected in industry recognition too, with the Academy named a finalist for Training Provider of the Year at the FSM Awards and for the Manufacturer/Distributor Training Award at the PSI Premier Awards.
Martin Green, Commercial Training and Support Manager at Hochiki Europe, said:
“The FIREbeam course is another building block in the Academy library. Whether someone is new to our products or has worked with Hochiki for years, the Academy is there to support learning throughout their career, not just at the point of installation or specification. Because it is entirely self-paced and accessible from anywhere, our customers can build their knowledge in a way that fits around their own working day, no matter where they are based. If you have a project coming up with a large open space, whether that is a warehouse, an atrium or a sports hall, this course gives you a solid grounding in the FIREbeam range before you get started.”
