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

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 added, “The majority of participants are security installers looking to enhance their knowledge and expertise in using TDSi’s integrated security systems. 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.”  

The new enhanced online booking system also makes the process quicker and easier as Nick Mercer, 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. 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.”

Reflecting upon TDSi’s enhanced training, Jon Hooley concluded, “Whilst 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.”
