Course Description
Access Control
Hi-Tech Training
An effective Access Control System can form an integral part of an effective security system. Our course is designed to give participants a practical knowledge of the operation and installation of Access Control Systems at a foundation level. Our experience has taught us, that in order to gain the required skills, a large percentage of this training course should be dedicated to building, setting-up, testing and trouble-shooting faults using core elements of modern systems. At the end of the course an interested and hardworking participant will have a good solid foundation knowledge of what access control is all about.
Aim
This practically based course is designed to give participants a practical knowledge of the operation and installation at a foundation level. Each module of the training program is backed-up by practical exercises, demonstrations and course materials. These training methods give the participant a greater grasp of the practical aspects of the industry and provides them with the “Hands-On” experience and confidence which are essential for success.
