Building knowledge at new installation school

The Zentia Installation School is our award-winning training school that has trained thousands of ceiling contractors since the 1990s. It provides training at all levels of the industry, from apprentices and non-construction professionals to experienced contractors and distributors.

Awarded Member Training Programme of the Year by the Finishes and Interiors Sector in 2023, the Zentia Installation School combines theory and practical training to teach more about our ceiling products, their acoustical properties, and how to achieve the perfect installation.

Tailored Training

Our courses are designed with flexibility to meet your needs, ranging from one to two days. For distributors, we offer a one-day course that provides a comprehensive overview of Zentia’s product range and installation techniques, highlighting the ones which are most popular with installers. For contractors, we offer a more intensive two-day training course that covers the installation of our entire range, including canopy and baffle installations, with a focus on your specific areas for improvement.

Each course includes an extensive health and safety introduction to suspended ceilings, along with a tour of our mineral ceiling and grid plants. Practical, hands-on training is conducted in our dedicated training rig at the Team Valley site in Gateshead.
