17 Door planner awarded
Once again, the Door Industry Association has presented 17 graduates with the Door Planner Diploma.
The know-how around the door should not be underestimated, because it must meet many requirements: Fire protection, escape route function, burglar resistance, sound insulation and much more. The door planner must therefore have in-depth knowledge. The association of the door industry, the VST, therefore promotes education and training. With the course held for the first time last year "Door Planner VST/VSSM" participants should receive a solid basis for their professional future.

VST President Rolf Honegger and Hans Kaiser, Höhere Fachschule Bürgenstock, presented the "Door Planner VST/VSSM" diploma to the following 17 graduates in Wettingen on November 14, 2019.
