The course is taught by Ian Young, who has over 40 years of experience in the suspended ceilings industry.

The courses offered vary in length, taking either one or two days to complete depending on the option chosen. It is held at Zentia Limited, Kingsway South, Team Valley Trading Estate, Gateshead, NE11 0SP. It begins at 8am each day, so if you choose the two day course we recommend booking two nights of accommodation in the Gateshead or Newcastle area if you are travelling from more than an hour away.

The course covers the theory and practical installation of mineral fibre suspended ceiling systems. It provides an ideal foundation for both office and site-based personnel.

The course is designed for individuals who wish to learn more about Zentia’s products and how to install them quickly and safely, whether you are an established ceiling installer, a distributor, or an architect or designer.
