The first graduated door planners
The first graduates of the newly created further training "VST / VSSM Door Planner" were able to receive their certificate.
There is more to a door than meets the eye. Because a door must meet many requirements: Fire protection, escape route function, burglar resistance, sound insulation and much more. Not to forget the high demands on the aesthetics of the architectural community. It is no easy task for the door industry to reconcile all requirements, if at all possible.
The graduates 2018
To ensure that the profession has good know-how, the associations of the Door industry (VST) and the Master carpenters and furniture manufacturers (VSSM) has launched a corresponding continuing education program. It started last March. In the context of their annual VST seminar, VST President Jim Steiner was able to ceremoniously award the diploma "VST / VSSM door planner" present.
