Abloy UK has released its Academy calendar outlining the company’s free online training courses to be delivered in 2021. The webinars are going to be presented by specialists and aim to keep practising professionals operating in the sector up-to-date with the Building Regulations and compliance standards, as well as current security and technology trends.
A suite of four courses will be held across the year on specific themes: Escape Door Systems, Electric Locking for Fire and Escape Doors, Digital Transformation in Physical Security and Digital Access Solutions. The latter is a new subject for 2021.
Pat Jefferies, commercial director at Abloy UK, told Security Matters: “Ongoing COVID restrictions mean that in-person training is very difficult. However, this shouldn’t prevent security professionals from striving for self-improvement and ensuring that they always keep up-to-date with the latest Best Practice across the sector.”

The full list of course dates is as follows:
Escape Door Systems: 1 April, 4 June, 5 August, 6 October and 2 December.
Electric Locking for Fire and Escape Doors: 4 March, 6 May, I July, 2 September and 4 November.
Digital Transformation in Physical Security: 11 March, 13 May, 8 July, 9 September and 11 November.
Digital Access Solutions: 22 April, 10 June, 12 August, 14 October and 9 December.
The Electric Locking for Fire and Escape Doors and Digital Transformation in Physical Security online courses are CPD-accredited.
