DHF announces the launch of its virtual learning programme

Door & Hardware Federation (DHF) has announced that from September 2024, it will be launching a new virtual learning facility; courses will be delivered via an online classroom, connecting DHF trainers and delegates in real-time to complete training wherever they might be.

At the very heart of DHF’s operations is its extensive training programmes, created to keep the industry informed on the importance of putting safe and compliant products on the market. 

“Over the past 10 years, DHF has trained more than 5,000 delegates on DHF courses either face-to-face or via the Distance Learning Programme,”  explains DHF’s Commercial Director, Patricia Sowsbery-Stevens.  “Virtual learning will combine elements of both and provide delegates with the opportunity to complete a DHF training course remotely at a location of choice but still receive live interaction from a DHF trainer and other delegates attending the course.  Our trainers are renowned experts in the industry (a reputation we are extremely proud of) and provide a wealth of experience and knowledge.”

Examinations will be completed remotely throughout the course via the Online Training Academy, enabling delegates to receive instant results.  Once the course has been completed, successful delegates will be able to download their certificates from the Online Training Academy.

“Virtual learning eliminates the need to travel and provides accessibility to DHF training courses wherever delegates might be located,” says Patricia.  “These enable savings on travel costs, time away from site, and contribute to the reduction of carbon footprint.”

Virtual learning is currently only available for the Level 2 Awards in Safety for Automated Gates & Traffic Barriers and Industrial & Garage Doors, and as with face-to-face training this course will run from 9am - 5pm with given breaks throughout the day.  ABBE Accreditation can still be added onto virtual learning courses starting from £40+ VAT. 

The first virtual Level 2 Award for Industrial & Garage Doors is Thursday 19th September: https://bit.ly/3SqjLBN
