KIC Out of Training<br />
To meet the increasing trend for<br />
main contractors to influence<br />
the specification process,<br />
Kawneer now includes them in its<br />
installation course traditionally<br />
aimed at specialist sub-contractors.<br />
The KIC (Kawneer Installation<br />
Certification) course is an intensive<br />
two-day training programme<br />
designed to provide astructured,<br />
strategic approach to the<br />
installation of Kawneer’s curtain<br />
walling, window, door and framing<br />
systems. Since it was launched,<br />
hundreds of industry personnel<br />
have attended.<br />
As well as specialist sub-contract<br />
installers, the course has also been<br />
aimed at main contractor envelope<br />
personnel to give them not only the<br />
opportunity to improve their<br />
knowledge of architectural systems<br />
installation but also tobenchmark<br />
the credentials of the specialist<br />
sub-contractor. This helps to<br />
minimise risk and maximise quality<br />
of workmanship on site.<br />

damage their customers’ business.”<br />

partnership will give our customers peace<br />
