AWE Educational Top Tips

Want trustworthy industry knowledge but don’t have enough time to take days off for full training? Well, we have created a series of top-tip educational videos looking at key aspects of the residential install industry!

The first episode focusses on Projection Technology and went live on Wednesday 23rd June, and new videos will be released every Wednesday on the AWE YouTube channel in association with our media partner, Essential Install.

As the smart home and integration sectors continue to run at pace, finding the time to train in person can be a challenge. During lockdown, many companies ramped up the ‘digitisation’ of their training and information offering and our Smart Home Academy has been at the forefront.

We have always been a company committed to training, stretching back many years with a continually updated award winning portfolio of courses and initiatives designed to support our installer customers. In-person sessions will remain a big part of our training, but the power of video-based small group live training to deliver content to the industry in a more accessible and flexible way is something we were among the first to embrace.

The AWE Educational Top Tips series is the next part of this commitment and is a bite-sized video-on-demand expression of the company’s desire to continue to innovate and offer industry leading support across a range of initiatives.

These short top-tips videos cover some of the most frequently asked questions across some of the most popular topics that integrators request support on. The collection will help viewers understand key technologies better and reveal where some may benefit from more in-depth training. Our experienced team will share their technical know-how and inside knowledge to deliver snappy content that viewers can apply directly into their businesses and out in the field.

There will be eight initial videos. Having easily accessible education from wherever busy integrators are, in the office or on onsite, is going to be an important resource and we aim to ensure that is exactly what the industry will get.

Stuart Tickle, AWE Managing Director, says, “We are really excited to launch this series, there is loads of great content to come. We are fully committed to making sure we provide integrators properly useful information in ways they find accessible and relevant, with this series of Top Tips VODs being the latest.”
