Elevation Academy Training Centre opens in Leeds
Hochiki Europe has marked the opening of the Elevation Academy Training Centre in Leeds, which will provide face-to-face training for between 30 and 40 professionals each month.
Hochiki Europe Regional Sales Managers Mick Hall and Nicholas Brammall attended the opening, where they met trainees and staff and handed out branded merchandise and test products.
The centre is based in Leeds and is intended to serve installers and contractors across Yorkshire and the north of England.
Training Centre courses and support
The current curriculum includes the Fire and Security Apprenticeship, Fire Training aligned to BS5839-1:2025, Fire Extinguisher training and the Experienced Worker Assessment.
The Experienced Worker Assessment is described as a route for professionals seeking formal recognition of skills developed over time in the field.
Hochiki Europe said it supports the centre as part of its wider training activity, which includes its own Hochiki Training Academy with online and in-class learning.
Hochiki Europe sets out training position
Shinsuke Kubo, Managing Director, Hochiki Europe, said: “At Hochiki Europe, we have always believed that great fire safety begins with great people.
“Through our own Training Academy, we are committed to developing the skills and knowledge our industry depends on, and we are delighted to extend that commitment by supporting the Elevation Academy Training Centre.
“Investing in the people who protect lives is not something we take lightly.”
Elevation Academy is also planning a digital training platform, and Hochiki Europe said it is looking at how its online training offering could align with that work.
