ADIA membership is designed to make running your business easier, safer and more efficient — without constantly adding extra costs.
Rather than charging for every tool, course or resource separately, ADIA builds real value directly into membership. That means training, compliance support, admin tools and promotion are included as standard, helping members save time, reduce stress and stay focused on the work that matters.
Here’s a full overview of everything that’s included at no extra cost when you join ADIA.
Free Training Every Year
Training is essential in the door, gate and industrial door industry — but it’s also one of the biggest ongoing expenses. ADIA removes that barrier by including training within membership.
All members receive one free Gate and Barrier Safety Course accredited by City & Guilds and one free Fire Door Safety course included in their membership.
Installer members receive an additional one free accredited course per year, saving up to an additional £350 + VAT annually.
Courses include:
-
BS EN 16005 Automatic Door Safety (City & Guilds accredited)
-
Gate & Barrier Safety (City & Guilds accredited)
-
Industrial Door Safety (City & Guilds accredited)
-
Service & Maintenance training
-
Fire Door Awareness
-
Additional safety-focused courses as they are developed
New courses are added regularly to reflect changes in legislation, standards and industry best practice.
Free Online Health & Safety Courses for Your Team
In addition to the aforementioned courses, members gain access to a suite of free online health & safety modules.
These are ideal for:
-
Refreshing existing knowledge
-
Supporting new starters
-
Demonstrating ongoing competence and commitment to safety
There’s no limit on how many staff members can complete these courses, making them a valuable tool for businesses of all sizes.
And the best part? There’s no limit to how many people you put through.
Free Online Risk Assessment & Service Forms
Members receive access to professionally designed, industry-specific online forms, including:
-
Automatic door risk assessments
-
Gate & barrier risk assessments
-
Industrial door risk assessments
These forms are easy to use on-site, structured to support compliance, and eliminate the need to create or pay for third-party templates. Additionally, it means you can get the forms sent to your office and the client right away and saves dealing with paperwork. It’s also better for the environment.
No subscriptions. No per-use fees. Just ready-to-go documentation.
Free DoorSafe Register Support
Managing engineer records, cards and refresher deadlines can be time-consuming — especially across multiple staff.
Our DoorSafe Register is directly linked to your engineers cards via their unique QR code, going straight to their profile, showing their accreditation expiry (different to card) as well as other City & Guilds courses completed.
ADIA provides background support by:
-
Monitoring training expiry dates (we email a month before City & Guilds expiry and if it has expired)
-
Sending card renewals free of charge (upon application)
-
Supporting accurate DoorSafe Register profiles.
This proactive approach helps prevent lapses in compliance and reduces admin pressure on business owners.
Free Technical & Business Support
ADIA membership isn’t just about courses — it’s about day-to-day support.
Members can access:
-
Free technical guidance relating to automatic doors, gates and industrial doors
-
Free HR and health & safety guidance to support employment responsibilities
-
Practical advice from people who understand the industry and its challenges
Support is personable, responsive and human — not ticket-based or automated.
Free Advertising, Promotion & Visibility
ADIA actively promotes its members rather than focusing solely on the association itself.
Included with membership:
-
Free listings in ADIA directories to boost visibility and SEO
-
Free promotion through newsletters and social media
-
Free blog features and industry spotlights

Free job vacancy listings when recruiting
This helps members raise their profile, attract enquiries and reach a relevant industry audience — without paying advertising fees.
Free Membership Certificates & Marketing Assets
Members receive:
-
Digital membership certificates
-
ADIA branding assets for websites, vans, email signatures and proposals
-
Guidance on using ADIA branding correctly and professionally
These assets help demonstrate credibility clearly to customers, contractors and stakeholders.

Built-In Value, Not Add-Ons
ADIA membership is structured so value is built in from the start, rather than added later through upsells.
Training, compliance tools, promotion, guidance and support are all included — allowing members to focus on running their businesses with confidence and clarity.
For those looking to join a trade association that genuinely supports its members, ADIA offers far more than a name on a certificate.
