   Induction & Training


Induction & Training - Introduction

The precise format of our induction training will vary dependant upon many factors such as geography, timing, availability of trade examinations, availability of company resources and, not least, the particular strengths and weaknesses of the individual candidate. Below, however, follows a fairly typical template.

Initial Induction & Ongoing Training

There will be a relatively brief and informal period of induction giving an overview of the Company, your peers, your line manager, health & safety, etc. Additional introductions will also be made to office staff and other business activities dependant upon location.

Following this relatively brief training, you will then typically be introduced in some depth to the Fire Alarm & Emergency Lighting Maintenance & Commissioning Engineer’s role and how it is undertaken.

Dependant upon the candidate's experience, training and qualifications, and the availability of any external courses (which can be a significant factor) initial or ongoing training is very likely to involve some or all of the following:

  • FIA/BFPSA/IFEDA/BAFE FDAS Training (various modules);
  • FIA/ICEL Emergency Lighting Training;
  • FDAS & E/L Manufacturer-Specific Training; and/or
  • Applicable BS 7671 electrical qualifications (although less likely)

Further training will typically be a mix of in-house classroom-environment training & induction, and accompanied ‘in the field’ training.

Potentially, this training can be anywhere in Great Britain, although it usually consists of a mix of a time near one of our regional centres together with time spent in the employees’ own patch.

First Steps on Your Own

Dependant upon your progress in the above, you will be expected to commence working without further constant direct supervision.

Of course, careful mentoring and peer support will be provided throughout this initial period of you learning your new role. Additionally, the Company will provide a higher than normal element of quality management to help ensure its rigorous standards are maintained for everyone’s benefit.

Beyond This

Assuming you progress as expected and your quality audits demonstrate excellence in your work, you should expect levels of close supervision to diminish appropriately in accordance with your increasing experience.

However training is of course ongoing and there is a currently requirement to sit refresher courses and examinations periodically, every three years. Further training and examination requirements may develop as the trade, the Group and its staff all develop.
