Flexitec Installer Training: Cost, Booking and What's Included
The official Flexitec installer course is run by RESTEC Academy, the manufacturer's own training arm. Here's what it costs, what the day includes and how to book a place.
The official Flexitec training course is run by RESTEC Academy, the training arm of RESTEC, the UK manufacturer that makes Flexitec. It's a one-day, hands-on course from Β£120 + VAT per delegate (Β£144 including VAT), held at 22 training centres across the UK, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands. You can book a place online in a few minutes.
Where can you book an official Flexitec installer course?
Book directly through RESTEC Academy. Because the course is run by the manufacturer, it's the route to becoming a certified Flexitec installer and offering the RESTEC guarantee. Some training days are held at merchant branches such as SIG Uddingston and SIG Broxburn, but they're still listed and booked through the academy.
To book:
- Go to the Flexitec course page or the full list of upcoming training days.

- Click Register, add your delegate details and pay by card.
- Sign the safety disclaimer that's emailed to you before the day.
You can also book or pay over the phone with the training team on 01352 748 600. Each day takes a maximum of 12 people and popular dates fill up, so it's worth booking early.

Yes. Contact the team at least 48 hours before the day to change attendee details or move to another date, subject to availability.
