CPD Training
Having championed surge protection for over twenty years, we consider it our mission to ensure that everyone who needs to understand its importance has easy access to clear information, guidance and training.
We therefore offer three distinct ways to receive our CPD accredited training, the SPD Training Academy, live training courses ran remotely approximately two – three times a month, or at regular industry events.
The SPD Training Academy
The SPD Training Academy is a free to access resource. Simply register and you will gain access to a range of pre-recorded training modules covering a range of topics including lightning vs surges, installation of SPD’s and many more.
You can signup on our dedicated website at academy.surgedevices.co.uk
The SPD Training Academy is designed to give you structure learning at a pace that suits you. Upon completing a module if there is anything that you need clarification on you are welcome to reach out to our technical team who will be happy to assist you. Contact details can be found here.
Live Remote Training
Most months Surge Protection Devices offer two – three live online training sessions which last approximately one hour. These training sessions offer a more interactive form of learning with the opportunity to ask questions as you go along. The sessions are CPD accredited and will count towards your mandatory hours.
All our live sessions are run by our Technical Director, Kirsty Johnson MIET.
