One of its most recent events was at the end of October, when Ampetronic staged a training day at the premises of The Royal Society, Edinburgh, allowing delegates from across Scotland to benefit from the knowledge and experience of Ampetronic's Richard Brooks and James Bottrill.
With assistance in raising awareness of the event from Louis Grace, Ampetronic's Glasgow-based distributor, delegates from as far afield as Aberdeen, Dundee, Glasgow and Falkirk convened for an informative day of theoretical and practical learning on all the essential elements of successful induction loop installation.
These included the principles of AFILS (Audio Frequency Induction Loop Systems); current standards and legislation; induction loop design and solutions; practical installation methods; commissioning; testing and fault finding - all with best practise and current international standards as the central theme.
"We take education extremely seriously," says Ampetronic managing director Julian Pieters. "It is very easy to install an induction loop in such a way that the hearing impaired gets less than maximum benefit.
"However, it is just as easy to ensure they do derive maximum benefit, if the installer has the prior knowledge of how to do it correctly and in full compliance with current international standards. In our one day training courses we cover all the most important points of how to achieve this."
