C-TEC is hosting a free four-hour CPD event in Wigan covering Martyn's Law compliance, lockdown procedures, and low-cost fire system upgrades.
Life safety manufacturer C-TEC is opening the doors to its Wigan production facility on 4 November to host a free, four-hour Continuing Professional Development (CPD) seminar. The session will cover modern lockdown procedures, low-cost fire alarm upgrades, and accessibility compliance under the Equality Act.
The upcoming event comes at a pivotal time for commercial installers and system integrators. With the imminent implementation of Martyn's Law—the UK government's prospective Terrorism (Protection of Premises) legislation—site operators and contractors face stricter responsibilities for public protection. C-TEC's event, titled 'Lockdown Alert!', aims to provide practical guidance on implementing effective communication and security measures alongside existing fire alarm infrastructure.
Participants will gain four accredited CPD hours while receiving technical briefings directly from manufacturing specialists. In addition to physical security protocols, the seminars will focus on practical routes for upgrading legacy fire safety systems without requiring complete site rewiring, alongside accessibility solutions that meet statutory requirements.
What does this mean for a UK tradesperson or DIYer actually buying this kit — does it change what they should pay, buy, or watch out for?
For commercial electricians and fire alarm installers, understanding how to integrate lockdown functionality into existing panel architectures presents a lucrative service offering. Clients in education, healthcare, and public venues are actively seeking cost-effective ways to comply with evolving security standards without incurring total system replacement costs. Attending this training helps installers specify compatible, low-cost expansion modules and emergency voice communication systems, ensuring they recommend compliant hardware from primary electrical wholesalers rather than over-specifying unnecessarily expensive setups.
The free seminar will take place at C-TEC's headquarters in Wigan on 4 November. Installers, electrical engineers, and facility managers looking to secure a place or earn accredited CPD points can register directly with the manufacturer ahead of the event.
