The company, which has over 200 dealer and distributor customers UK-wide, has always seen product training as vital in maintaining good long term relationships with the installer channel. This latest modern facility will enable it to offer more intensive training courses across a broad range of products.
The training is available for a nominal fee to customers of all sizes, from one man bands to large distributors, and will focus specifically on the PAC access control systems. Six networked PCs plus servers, rising to eight in May, are connected to PAC hardware, enabling practical, hands-on demonstrations of the full range of access control products and features. The facility is able to simulate most security scenarios and potential problems and keep the customer fully abreast of Stanley's latest technological developments.
The training courses provide invaluable support whether the trainee is involved in the specification, installation or maintenance of PAC equipment and can even be augmented by separate e-learning opportunities available on the Stanley website.
In addition, training sessions are also offered on other Stanley Security Solutions products including its CCTV, communications and time and attendance systems.
Group marketing manager, Malcolm Rose commented: "The new training centre underlines our ongoing commitment to the indirect channel. As our security products become increasingly technologically advanced it is essential we step up the comprehensive support we give our customers. As a state-of-the-art resource the new Stockport facility keeps us at the forefront of training provision."
