AICO LEADING THE WAY WITH CITY & GUILDS ASSURED QUALIFICATION Earlier this year, Aico, the European market leader in home life safety, launched its City & Guilds Assured qualification on Domestic Fire & Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarm Systems – a continuation of its award-winning FIA CPD accredited Expert Installer training. To provide participants with a detailed understanding, this one-day course, AA2426-01, focuses on the design, installation, maintenance, interconnection, siting, and electrical connection of Aico domestic alarm systems. The qualification has a mixture of theory-based and practical sessions and concludes with a multiple-choice assessment. Duncan Orr, Regional Specification Manager for NI & IOM and Supply Chain Education Lead comments, “In an ever changing and fast-moving landscape, the City & Guilds assured AA2426-01 course takes our educational offering to the next level. It is our privilege to bring this City and Guilds Assured qualification to the market and continue to promote the raising of standards, knowledge, and competence in the life safety industry.” To be eligible for the City & Guilds Assured qualification, participants must have completed Aico’s Expert Installer training and be a member of the Aico Installer Community – a connected online platform built to support Expert Installers.
