Gate Installation Training
Gate Installer Dipolma
The Gate Installer (GID) course is designed to instuct and assess technically skilled candidates in four key areas relating to the safe installation of equipment and controls for the automation of gates.
The GID incorporates a number of industry recognised courses.
Each element of training is carried out by a qualified instructor with practical industry experience in their field.
About Us
We have been offering training to the gate industry since 2013 with an aim to provide industry-wide training schemes as part of its drive to increase levels of safety in the powered automatic gates sector. With an increase in automated gate technology over recent years it is important that installers are able to show they understand the risks involved and ensure electric gates are installed correctly. This not only saves lives but will reduce the chances of legal proceedings for injuries or deaths that result from poorly installed electric gates.
All training instruction is delivered by qualified individuals with real-life experience in their relevant field.
We believe that this approach gives each and every candidate attending training with us, the opportunity to expand their skill and knowledge base, regardless of the current level of experience.
