DHF reinstates face-to-face training
2nd June 2020

The Door & Hardware Federation has reinstated its on-site face-to-face training sessions at its academy in Tamworth. 

Head of commercial operations Patricia Sowsbery-Stevens said: “Following a full risk assessment on the premises, a small skeleton staff has now returned to DHF’s head office, albeit adhering to social distancing measures.

“These safety measures have also been extended to our spacious training academy; we are extremely lucky to be able to provide this facility to our learners, particularly at this time.  DHF has taken advice from other training facilitators across the UK and is confident it will offer delegates a safe and secure environment whilst they continue with their learning.”

The trade association has already contacted those who had booked training courses, to offer them the option to resume face-to-face classes.  Ordinarily, DHF’s training academy accommodates up to 25 people; however, given the necessity to maintain a two-metre distance, the number of delegates on each course has been restricted to six.

“The two-day course will be split over the course of a week, so candidates will not need to stay overnight to complete this course.  Exams will be undertaken in the usual way.  DHF has taken every precaution necessary to ensure a safe and rewarding learning experience for all, and we are delighted to be able to resume as much of a normal service as we can at this time.”
