New R&M training programme on track

Reichle & De-Massari UK has recently rolled out its in-house multi-level training scheme with the launch of their 2008 Qualified Partner Programme (QPP) aimed at professionals involved in structured cabling in the UK.

The first group to take part learnt about R&M’s wide range of fibre and copper structured cabling and connectivity products before practising terminating them under the watchful eye of R&M UK Technical Director, Peter Hawtin. Head of Training Programme Felice Guarna was also on hand to offer advice and training to the attendees.

QPP has proved extremely successful in Europe, where it was first launched by R&M in Switzerland. It plays a core role within R&M UK’s market strategy. The objective is simple – to ensure there is a bank of R&M installer and design partners in the UK who have the expertise, knowledge and, most importantly, the recognition that they can provide an excellent service to end users of R&M products.

“We aim to give QPP installers and designers all the professional support they need for installation, design, testing and maintenance" says Peter.

However the QPP philosophy goes beyond this. Peter continues “Over 40% of data loss on IT systems is caused by errors on the cabling infrastructure. We at R&M feel that training should cover the whole community who utilise cabling systems to remove human errors where possible. Therefore we also offer training modules for sales, implementation and usage of our cabling solution. This then gives our customers a quality cabling system with the security of well trained professional installers and designers as well as educated users."

QPP certified installers are given a 20 year warranty whilst designers and instructors can offer a lifetime guarantee. All QPP members must renew their training every two years to maintain their status.

The courses are recognised by BICSI and can earn between 9 and 32 Continuing Education Credits, depending on which course you take.

If you are interested in taking part in either the two-day installer course, four day designer course or five day instructor course please contact Peter Hawtin at peter.hawtin@rdm.com for more details.
