Welcome to the Vortex Training Center

In December 2008, Vortex completed our new State-of-the-Art Training Center. This was developed to enhance your career at Vortex, gain mechanical knowledge and receive experience with all types of doors and door products including dock levelers. This training course also covers specialized techniques such as welding, torch use, loading and ladder safety. We also aggressively cover how to properly meet and greet Customers to provide them with excellent Customer Service the Vortex way.

We use innovative tools and equipment for you to develop excellent door repair and replacement skills. This is an investment back into the future of our people and the future of Vortex.

Everyone who finishes this 5-day course walks away with a greater knowledge of doors, safety, procedures, and confidence to carry on the tradition of Vortex Excellence.

In the end, this investment was made to help insure our Customers are delighted by providing them an excellent repair or installation done by a high quality, professional technician. This also develops a group of excellent Field Technicians certain to have a successful, safe, and long-term career at Vortex.

As of January 2013, Vortex became an authorized certification facility to provide AAADM Training and Certification to select Vortex Technicians. This provides our Technicians a unique and exclusive one-on-one training on all types of Automatic Doors. Once complete they will receive their AAADM Certification status.

In January 2016, we expanded our Training Center and moved it to Irvine, CA. We were able to add more door and hardware options to encompass more training and knowledge for our Technicians.

Spencer was fast and efficient, our door now closes without howling. Plus he even cleaned and lubed the door. Feels brand new!

We have a small print shop storefront close to the AT&T Center (where the SA Spurs play) and needed a retail front door. We shopped around and called a number of door companies with minimal, or should I say, less than enthusiastic efforts to gain our trust and business. Our stores structure was built in the 1950's so there were many company representatives who came to check it out and never got back to us or there quote was out of this world because of the possibility of many unforeseen issues, to say the least. Once we called VORTEX I could tell we finally had the ball rolling in the right direction. There were a number of folks involved from the beginning; the local Mgr. Randy McFarland, Scott McGauvren, to the installers including Cotton and Josh as well as a few others who's names I've forgotten. Most importantly it was a great overall effort by everyone involved ! Although not everything went as planned due to the age of the building and the unexpected obstacles, everything went as smoothly as anyone could expect. Even though they had to return after the initial installation, it was all handled in an organized and professional manner. Thanks to Mr. McFarland and his San Antonio, VORTEX group we have an awesome retail storefront door. JS
