Aico\u2019s Mobile Training and Demonstration Units are back! S ince acquiring its first Mobile Unit in 2017, Aico has expanded its fleet to four units that cover the length and breadth of the country. Each of the units is fully equipped for hands-on training, providing customers with a complete overview of Aico\u2019s products and technologies, and enabling the delivery of its awardwinning Expert Installer training. The Mobile Units are also utilised across the UK to engage, educate and inform members of the public. Fire safety sessions to promote awareness of fire and Carbon Monoxide within the home are vital to encourage active involvement from children and students, as well as residents. To date, Aico\u2019s Expert Installer training scheme has trained over 30,000 industry employees in domestic Fire Alarm specification and installation and is FIA approved with many of the modules CPD accredited, enabling installers to earn CPD time. 2020 saw the Expert Installer training go digital, with the unprecedented times caused by the pandemic. In June, Aico was able to return to in-person training across different locations including City Electrical Factors Dartford, Edmundsons Electrical Torquay and Fife College while strictly following the Government Covid-19 guidelines. Daren Newcombe of Plymouth Community Homes, who utilised the Mobile Unit on Tuesday 15 June, said: \u201cWe have specified and installed Aico alarms for the past 15 years and this is the third time we have had the Mobile Unit, this is an excellent opportunity for our engineers. We always receive first class support from Steve Bulley who is our local regional specification manager (RSM), who has extensive knowledge and is always there when we need him.\u201d Thursday 17 June saw RSM for the West Midlands Julie Weaving visit City Electrical Factors in Stafford delivering an Expert Installer session. Julie was delighted with the response from customers and said: \u201cHaving the Mobile Unit back out and about again this week after 16 months, delivering our CPD training face-to-face and having the interaction from electrical contractors has been fantastic.\u201d Nick Edwards from JNR Contractors Ltd, who attended the Expert Installer session, said: \u201cGreat CPD training, very informative and interactive, in a fantastic setting \u2013 thank you to Julie Weaving and Aico.\u201d Aico\u2019s Mobile Units will be visiting various locations across the UK on a regular basis where RSM\u2019s will deliver training to contractors and students.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, please contact your local regional specification manager by visiting <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aico.co.uk\/rsm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.aico.co.uk\/rsm\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After having the brakes on for the past 16 months, Aico\u2019s bespoke, state-of-the-art Mobile Training and Demonstration Units are back out on the road.
