Over 2,000 professionals worldwide have already registered for the Hochiki Training Academy, and the certification carries genuine weight because every course is assessed rather than simply attended.
When Sigmar Örn Arnarson, Lead Engineer and Owner of VOLT EHF in Iceland, took on the Fjarðargata Complex, a large mixed use development spanning apartments, a hotel, a shopping mall, restaurants, offices, a library and underground parking, his team trained through the Academy before the project began. They installed Hochiki’s Latitude fire control panel alongside a full suite of ESP intelligent devices, integrated into the building’s wider management system.
“The training at Hochiki’s Academy really helped us understand the flexibility and strength of the products and gave us confidence going into the project,” said Arnarson. “For a site of this scale and complexity, we expected challenges, but the installation went very smoothly.”
Online courses cover Latitude, ESP Addressable, CDX Conventional and FIREscape Nepto, and are free for all registered Hochiki partners. Built on more than a century of manufacturing experience since 1918, the Academy gives South African professionals a clear way to demonstrate competence to increasingly selective clients.
