specialist in-house training

From specification to installation, everything is kept in-house at Oscar Acoustics. We tailor all training specifically to our line of work, with our specialist teams installing our acoustic systems day in, day out.

We have created our own purpose-built training facility in our Oscar Innovation Centre HQ. The ‘SonaSpray Training Academy’ provides a controlled environment for our teams to build their skills with our Head of Quality Control. This ensures a high-quality and long lasting acoustic finish every time.

Our Head of Quality Control also regularly visits sites to inspect and snag our team’s work and identify staff who need further training. Specialist training for our teams enables us to continue our company growth without fear of our standards slipping.

We have a company culture of safety first and we take our health and safety records very seriously. We regularly send in unannounced independent auditors to inspect and report on our installation teams and they always score exceptionally.

We are CHAS, Achilles and ConstructionLine accredited.

Our new HQ – the Oscar Innovation Centre

Due to the substantial growth of our business we have now moved into our new purpose-built HQ facility – The Oscar Innovation Centre (OIC) in Halling, Kent.

The OIC has quadrupled our storage capacity, enabling us to hold more stock and reduce lead times for our valued customers.

Our new HQ also acts as a showroom for all of our products. Potential customers can now book a tour for themselves, their design teams and clients to come and view our product range in a real life setting. This is significantly better than looking at a finish in a small sample. You can now see our products come to life. Our managing director can also host a detailing CPD at the end of the tour.
