CERTIFICATION AND DROP TEST INFORMATION
The uniqueness and convenience of our Hands on Mount Onsite Method of training and our Fire Door training facility is that you will have the opportunity to review the IDEA 2-Day School Curriculum. This is a Power Point that was developed to aid you in passing your IDEA rolling fire door certification. You will also have the ability to acquire all 10 points needed to become fully certified in one place! What does this mean? At Mount Onsite you will receive 1 point for installing a fire door and a ½ point for a drop test and inspection of an existing fire door.
During your time in class, you will install, inspect and drop enough fire doors to meet your 10-point requirement for certification.
We are one of the only places that offers a seamless and integrated solution for getting fully certified under one roof, working on numerous fire door manufacturers, as well as working with several different release devices.
