Linkcare Teams Up With HSL To Deliver Professional Gate Automation Installer Training Linkcare is delighted to have partnered with training experts HSL to provide comprehensive, professional training for anyone involved in gate automation.HSL's goal is to deliver, professional and relevant, practically biased, technical instruction that empowers installers with the skills, knowledge and confidence to carry out safe and compliant installations. HSL has been offering training to the gate industry since 2013. This was driven by the goal to provide industry-wide training schemes designed to increase levels of safety in the powered automatic gates sector. With an increase in automated gate technology over recent years it is important that installers are able to show they understand the risks involved and ensure electric gates are installed correctly. This not only saves lives but will reduce the chances of legal proceedings for injuries or deaths that result from poorly installed electric gates. The HSL gate automation installer course is outlined below. You can check availability and dates of the next courses here.
