Training Opportunities with Linkcare

The training courses we ran at our site in St. Albans to cater for the needs of the gate automation industry are temporarily on hold while we move our training site to a new location.  We hope that the new site will be up and running by the end of April and we will produce the next set of training dates then.

These courses are open to all, but are particularly relevant to those engaged in automatic gate installation on a regular basis.

The schedule consists of three main courses:

1. The Introductory course is designed for newcomers into the automation industry from allied trades with a high level of competence in the use of tools and site safety which is pre-requisite for all courses. This course provides a good grounding in the all aspects of the automation industry including marketing, surveying, system design, and the installation of standard systems.

2. The Intermediate course is design for experienced automation engineers who want to apply for LinkCare Network Approved Installer status. This course covers the installation, configuration, commissioning and fault finding in detail and is designed to train engineers to be able to work on a wide variety of systems and brands by understanding the principals of automation systems.

3. The Advanced course concentrates on safety training, including risk assessment and system design with regard to European safety directives and dynamic force testing. This course is also a requirement for those who want to apply for LinkCare Network Approved Installer status. All courses include both theoretical and practical aspects.

A nominal charge £40.00 + VAT is made for each course and early booking is advised as numbers are strictly limited. To make a booking or for more information either call our head office on 01895 232626 or fill in our online Contact form with subject line "Training courses".

Our Show Site:

The new site will display a wide range of high quality gates made froma variety of different materials, including a beautiful range of long-life, low maintenance Aluminium gates. The gates will be fitted with a selection of automation equipment, providing you with a great opportunity to directly compare the different styles of gates and systems. With Trade Discounts available we could even increase your profits!  

Aluminium is a perfect material for the fabrication of gates. It is strong, stable and lighter than traditional materials and our aluminium gates will not rot, rust, twist, split or warp. They are supplied with a guarantee for 10 years, maintenance free even when fitted right next to the sea! 

Our Virgo and Taurus ranges are designed to emulate the beauty of a wood but without the disadvantages. Our Capricorn and Leo ranges provide the traditional look of wrought iron gates but in a form that is lighter and needing no regular repainting to keep their wonderful looks. Our Cast Iron Gates are made from old 'Sun Foundry' patterns brought back to life in a range of stunning designs.

Our unique range of classically design Steel gates all incorporate our fantastic 'INTEGRA' automation system, which has the motors hidden from sight within the hinge stile of the gate; improving the appearance of the gate and keeping equipment out of sight from vandals and thieves. Our range of traditional Hardwood gates are fabricated from high quality Iroko in the UK.

Our Cast Iron gates and railings are supplied in standard sizes providing a very affordable compliment to a period property.
