Integrated security manufacturer, TDSi has unveiled its enhanced, free-of-charge training offering, which includes an updated training facility, enhanced online booking system and a refreshed training syllabus, which focuses on its GARDiS ecosystem range.

Jon Hooley, the Technical Support Manager at TDSi, commented “Over the last couple of years, much of our training has had to be conducted remotely online, but with the relaxation of social distancing rules earlier this year, we have had the perfect opportunity to further evolve and enhance our face-to-face training facilities.

Fully refurbished training facilities

He adds, “Our fully refurbished and updated training facilities in Poole reflect the latest technology developments, with a firm focus on GARDiS as our flagship range of fully integrated web-enabled systems, their installation and integration with other systems.

With installers and end users upgrading from TDSi’s classic EXgarde security software solution to GARDiS, TDSi is catering for increased demand for further practical training on the flagship range.

Along with TDSi’s headquarters in Poole, Dorset, United Kingdom (UK), it also offers training at its partner - Texecom’s state-of-the-art facility, located in Haslingden, Lancashire, in order to provide further choice on where to train geographically in the United Kingdom. With sessions taking place at both locations each month, TDSi’s training is highly flexible to the needs of those taking part.

Revamped and fully wireless training room

The sessions usually cater for six people to ensure an excellent one-to-one training experience"

The revamped and fully wireless training room in Poole has been designed to provide the ideal training environment for TDSi’s Gold and Platinum-accredited partners, as Jon Hooley stated, “The majority of participants are security installers looking to enhance their knowledge and expertise in using TDSi’s integrated security systems.

Jon Hooley adds, “The sessions usually cater for six people to ensure an excellent one-to-one training experience. We do also offer bespoke paid-for options that are particularly well suited to larger groups, bespoke content requirements for end-users for example, along with an additional option of on-premises training if required.

New enhanced online booking system

The new enhanced online booking system also makes the process quicker and easier, as Nick Mercer, the Marketing Manager at TDSi, commented “Bookings for the Approved Installer Training Course are now placed through the website and the whole booking process can be done in minutes.

Nick Mercer adds, “Installers registering their place will receive immediate confirmation, along with a digital ticket via email and bookings are easily managed for amends or cancellations. The platform also enables us to expand the training we offer, to include additional remote sessions, such as webinars and online training, in the future.

Well-equipped and dedicated training facility

Reflecting upon TDSi’s enhanced training, Jon Hooley concludes, “While online training is invaluable, it can’t completely replace the hands-on experience and benefits of a well-equipped and dedicated training facility, and we are very excited to be welcoming our partners to the new training room.
