Grant Westfield has launched a new online Installer Training programme, giving installers access to practical, on-demand training designed to build product knowledge, develop fitting skills and help achieve a professional finish first time.
The Core Installer Training comprises 15 short videos covering the complete installation journey, from pre-installation preparation, profiles, trims and accessories to tips and tricks and the general installation process.
The programme also addresses real-world fitting scenarios including baths, shower cubicles, niches, windows and doors, as well as Hydrolock®, Naturepanel, flooring and maintenance.
The new installer training videos were filmed at Festool’s UK headquarters in Bury St Edmunds as part of Grant Westfield’s new strategic partnership with the professional power tool brand.
Grant Westfield’s new Training Platform also includes training videos for Partners, Homeowners and Internal Staff as well as the A&D and specification community, which can be accessed via personalised dashboards to ensure people are viewing the most relevant content.
Elliott Fairlie, Product and Marketing Director at Grant Westfield, commented: “We know installers want training that is practical, straightforward and relevant to the situations they encounter every day. Installer Training brings that know-how together in an easy-to-access format, helping installers build confidence in our products, avoid common installation issues and achieve a great finish first time. Importantly, this isn’t a one-off initiative; we’ll continue to develop the programme with new guidance and training to support installers over the long term.”
Installers completing the core programme will receive an Installer Training Certificate, with Grant Westfield and Installer Elite loyalty points awarded to eligible participants. Installers will also be signposted to Grant Westfield’s Find an Installer search tool, which they can sign up to through a simple form. This provides free advertising for installers across the Grant Westfield, Multipanel and Naturepanel websites.
Installers can also benefit from a personalised events calendar, which will highlight relevant, local events based on the postcode that they inputted during the sign-up process.
