Service Level Agreements
The Academy Service Level Agreement (SLA) is central to how we at Academy respond to your lift requirements. It clearly defines in plain English exactly how we act on your call response requests, which services we will deliver on site, how we communicate with you, and how we advise on the status and operational efficiency of your lift equipment.
Our priority is to understand exactly how you operate so that we can get a feel for which services you need, and create a bespoke Service Level Agreement to exceed your unique and demanding expectations. All new and prospective clients will receive a site visit during which the Academy Technical Sales team will audit your current systems, with a thorough inspection of the lift equipment's condition and operational status leading to our proposal for a range of support services appropriate for your organisation. This measured information acts as a baseline for Academy and client alike illustrating how your assets have been managed to date.
Once the SLA is agreed and we are in receipt of your instructions, the Academy Lifts Operations Team will undertake their initial site visit, carrying out a full range of safety checks, and ensuring your lift is working correctly. At this time we affix our Identification Panel in a clear, visible location. This displays the 24 hour emergency contact information as well as the unique ID number assigned to your lift. In addition, we also include the Academy on-site diary - an information pack containing records of all Academy site visits, completed by our expert engineering team and managers as a matter of course. This serves to ensure that Academy exceeds the required standards of the lift industry, and that you as the owner or operator of the lift equipment are facing your obligations responsibly. Together we are now ready to begin our programme of planned maintenance, with Academy selected as your partner provider of lift services ensuring that your lift equipment is fully operational and completely safe, first time, every time.
Call Response Services
The knowledge that Academy Lifts is always available, exactly when you need us is a fundamental aspect of our Service Level Agreements. We do everything in our power to prevent failures, but in any system, there is the possibility of an eventual breakdown, maybe a power failure, or a system safety action.

• 24/7 Customer Support Desk
• On-call, on-site support engineers
