Continuing Education Units

In addition to the ASSA ABLOY Credit Hours issued for any completed instructor led training and online training courses, ASSA ABLOY has also partnered with the following industry associations to provide Continuing Education Units (CEUs) required for state licensing and other purposes.

DHI

Students completing any ASSA ABLOY Academy training module can apply those training hours to satisfy DHI's Continuing Education Point (CEP) requirements.

ALOA

Students completing any ASSA ABLOY Academy training module can apply those training hours toward ALOA AUE credits, used to maintain certification credentials.

Intertek Qualified Personnel – Hardware Installer Program

The ASSA ABLOY Preferred Installer Program includes third-party certification by Intertek. Rigorous, hands-on training qualifies technicians to field prep Warnock Hersey labeled fire doors for the installation of specific ASSA ABLOY integrated locks and accessories while retaining the door's fire resistance rating and compliance with NFPA 80. In addition, Intertek Qualified Personnel may apply supplemental serialized labels to doors they've prepped and after ASSA ABLOY hardware has been installed. This signifies to Authorities Having Jurisdiction and Fire Door Inspectors that the installation was completed in accordance with NFPA guidelines.

Career Path Management

Whether your employees need training on doors, frames, hardware, electronics or the basics, you can assign specific online courses based on employee needs and review their progress – all through ASSA ABLOY Academy.
