Fire Door Training Built Into the Platform

Automate Academy is not a separate learning system bolted on. It is the training layer inside the Automate Fire Door Management OS — so installers, inspectors, workshop teams and administrators learn the exact workflows they will use on real jobs. Short, professionally produced videos are combined with Archer, the in-platform AI tutor, to onboard new starters in hours and keep every team member working to the same compliant standard.

Role-specific learning paths

Installers, inspectors, workshop teams and administrators each follow training built for the work they actually do in the platform.

Professionally produced video library

Short, high-quality video lessons walk through every module — from door assembly and inspections to quoting and Golden Thread compliance.

Onboard in hours, not weeks

New starters learn inside Automate from day one, so teams become productive quickly without sending people on external courses.

Consistent operational standards

Every team member works to the same processes, keeping records, evidence and quality uniform across the whole business.

Training That Lives Where Your Team Works

Most fire door training happens in external courses, then has to be remembered and applied back in a separate system. Automate Academy flips that around — the training is the system. As a result, learning and doing happen in the same place, on the same screens, with an AI tutor on hand whenever a question comes up.

Learn the real workflow

Every lesson mirrors an actual screen in Automate — door assembly sheets, inspections, quoting, Golden Thread records and more. Therefore users recognise what they see in training the moment they open the platform for real.

Ask Archer anything

Archer, the Automate AI tutor, answers questions in plain English and guides users to the right action. Moreover, because Archer understands the fire door lifecycle, its help is specific to the role and the task, not generic software advice.

Onboard continuously

New features and processes are released as lessons, so the whole team picks them up without scheduling formal sessions. Consequently, standards stay consistent even as the platform and regulations evolve.

Train on any device

The Academy runs in the browser on phone and tablet — the same devices installers and inspectors already use on site. A lesson or a quick question to Archer is always one tap away.
In short, Automate Academy turns fire door training from a one-off course into a continuous, in-platform habit — so your team stays compliant, confident and productive from day one.

Automate Academy FAQ

Find answers to common questions about our fire door software and compliance solutions.

What is Automate Academy?

Automate Academy is the built-in training and onboarding centre inside the Automate Fire Door Management platform. It delivers professionally produced video lessons and role-specific learning paths, supported by Archer — the in-platform AI tutor — so teams learn to use the system while they work, with no external training required.

Who is the Automate Academy for?

The Academy is designed for everyone in a fire door business: installers, inspectors, workshop and manufacturing teams, project managers and administrators. Each role follows a learning path tailored to the modules they use day to day, from door assembly sheets and inspections to quoting, procurement and Golden Thread compliance.

How does Archer AI work inside the Academy?

Archer is the Automate AI tutor. Inside the Academy it guides users through each lesson, answers questions in plain English and points to the exact part of the platform being explained. Because Archer understands the fire door workflow, it can give role-specific help rather than generic software training.

How long does it take to onboard a new team member?

Most new starters are productive within hours rather than weeks. Lessons are short and focused, and because training happens inside the live platform, users practise on real screens as they learn — so onboarding and doing happen at the same time.

Is the Academy included with Automate?

Yes. Automate Academy is included with every Automate subscription at no extra cost. There is nothing to install separately and no third-party learning system to integrate — the training library and Archer AI tutor live inside the platform your team already uses.

Can new starters learn from day one?

Yes. Because the Academy is built into the platform, a new team member can be invited, log in and start their role-specific learning path immediately. Continuous onboarding means they pick up new features and processes as they are released, without scheduling formal training sessions.

Does the Academy work on mobile and tablet?

Yes. Automate Academy works in the browser on phone and tablet, the same devices teams already use on site. Installers and inspectors can watch a lesson or ask Archer a question while standing in front of the door they are working on.

How does Academy training support fire door compliance?

The Academy trains teams to follow the same compliant processes every time — from evidence capture and inspection flags to Golden Thread record-keeping. Consistent training means consistent records, which is exactly what building control, auditors and duty holders expect under the Building Safety Act.
