In addition to the courses above, Special-Lite® has partnered with AEC Daily to offer self-paced, online content. It is designed to help architects, engineers, designers, consultants, and anyone in the commercial door industry.

Our first course focused on the science behind FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) and what it can offer across various industries and applications. This course also qualifies for Health Safety Welfare (HSW) and CEU credit. Learn more about our “FRP Entrances: The Science Behind the Door” online course here.
