A MESSAGE FROM OUR CHAIRMAN
EDUCATION PORTFOLIO
Hello and welcome to our 2015/16 academic
year which brings a new and exciting dimension
to our Education Portfolio. You will already know
that the GAI Diploma course is an excellent and
proven programme for advancing the expertise
and career of those involved in architectural
hardware. This year the Guild is introducing
a brand new global online training platform
with the launch of ‘The Education Hub’, a super
enhancement for our learners to explore.
First of all it is completely online – from initial
registration to final examination and certificate
for both Stages 1 and 2 with a written examination
at Stage 3. Secondly, the format is based on
visual and audible presentations that are easy
to understand and follow step by step.
The ongoing delivery of online course work
compliments the end of year examination
which computer suites will be arranged both
in the UK and around the world.
The entire education and training portfolio the
GAI provides caters for anyone who is pursuing
a career in Architectural Ironmongery. The
Foundation in Hardware is the perfect induction
educationhub.gai.org.uk
04 EDUCATION PORTFOLIO
tool for anyone joining the industry, and,
having tasted this they may wish to become
a fully qualified DipGAI and become proficient
in writing ironmongery specifications.
The Diploma is the only education programme
in the UK that leads to a recognised qualification
in door hardware specification.
Last year saw another successful intake of
students, 311 in total. Global interest has
increased significantly in recent years to the extent
that 45% of last year’s learners are outside the
UK. The Education Hub, therefore, will play
a major role in satisfying this demand.
Analysis shows that learners attending the
residential training courses benefit enormously
from the experience and inevitably excel in their
examinations. These courses are considered an
essential ingredient of the Stage 3 syllabus, and,
a full mock examination will stand learners in good
stead for the final Diploma hurdle. Throughout their
studies the dedicated GAI staff are available
to answer queries and help support students in
achieving their goals. And watch out for special
‘Student Evenings’ for Stages 1 and 2 too. These

are delivered through the Institute in
the lead up to the June examinations
We are proud to have trained so many students
for a career in architectural hardware around
the world, and, are looking forward to supporting
many more.
For all those enrolling this year, I wish you well
in both your course work and your final
examination. Follow us on social media to keep
up-to-date with events and key dates.

THE GAI
EDUCATION HUB
THE NEW GAI EDUCATION HUB BRINGS TOGETHER ONLINE
LEARNERS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD.
For over 50 years the celebrated qualification
of the GAI’s Education Portfolio has been
the Diploma. No other training programme
offers such a broad knowledge and
understanding of ironmongery and in
that time over 2000 learners have achieved
this prestigious accolade. The Diploma
is by far the most recognised qualification
in the industry.
The implementation of the new GAI Education
Hub is a modern day solution for delivering
training to learners around the world. Not only
will learners benefit from a varied range of
learning styles but online assessment throughout
the syllabus and end of term examinations will
be fully automated throughout Stages 1 and 2.
These stages have been enhanced to focus on
what an architectural ironmonger really needs
to know for their industry career. Going forward
Stage 3 will concentrate entirely on scheduling
expertise with a single examination at the end
of the academic year in order to produce true
industry professionals.
The Diploma course is designed for everyone
working in the architectural ironmongery industry
and through the Education Hub, the GAI aims to
provide knowledge, regardless of location.

as you progress through your studies.
How you will learn
Our typical learning structure is outlined

• A commitment to meet deadlines for assessments
and tests.
• Attendance of training courses where
applicable.
• Completion of an end of academic year
examination.
Supporting your education and development

of the Institute of Architectural Ironmongers.
In England these are based in the South West,
South Central, South East, Midlands, North West,
North East and there are branches in South
Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland,
A MESSAGE FROM DUBAI….
“I obtained my Diploma in 1994 and
moved overseas to the Middle East in 1999.
Since then I have been extremely fortunate
to be involved with some of the region’s
largest and most exciting projects including
the world tallest tower, Burj Khalifa.
A lot has changed in the industry since
qualifying which is why it’s been good to
continue my association with the Guild and
use my Diploma with the pre-qualification
requirements set by the consultants for these
demanding specifications. I have since
encouraged many of my staff to follow
the same route and demonstrate their
professional ability to work for our company
in this these markets”.
