Siderise becomes first ASFP Recognised Training Provider

Siderise has been welcomed as the first company to become an ASFP Recognised Training Provider, with its comprehensive training offering on its range of passive fire protection products having been verified as technically accurate, professionally presented, and  relevant.

The Association for Specialist Fire Protection s’(ASFP) new training recognition service provides independent third-party evaluation of training courses specific to passive fire protection (PFP). Once companies have demonstrated their approach to training quality and technical capability, their application is reviewed by an independent panel. All providers that meet this quality benchmark gain recognition from ASFP for training delivery and will be subject to ongoing oversight and quality monitoring. This ensures the industry has access to high quality training that is easily identifiable.

Siderise’s training programmes cover important topics related to both its products and broader PFP specification, sales, installation, and distribution. These approved courses can also be used within the ASFP Competency Pathway, leading to the ASFP Pass Mark.

Adam Turk, CEO of Siderise, expressed his enthusiasm:

“We are delighted and proud to be the first ASFP Recognised Provider. Having an independent measure of training is great for the industry – it provides a specific benchmark for measurement, resulting in a more capable workforce. The ASFP recognition of our training and its inclusion in the ASFP Competency Pathway is significant, and we’re happy to support this initiative.”

ASFP Managing Director, Mike Ward, added:

“We are delighted to welcome ASFP member Siderise as the very first ASFP Recognised Provider for their comprehensive e-training courses and CPDs. We are delighted that they are supporting our drive to increase quality and competency in every aspect of PFP.”

Whilst voluntary, it is good practice. By becoming an ASFP Recognised Provider, companies clearly demonstrate that their training is valid and independent, and that they are committed to raising standards and competency, something that the Building safety Act makes clear are cornerstones of building safety.
