The course is conducted over two eight-hour days. Students are encouraged to participate in discussion and ask questions. Although the course is basic for new installers, technicians, salespersons, and managers; it also provides an excellent refresher course for more experienced alarm personnel.

The course is split into six parts, so those students needing Continuing Education Credits (CEC) can participate in the parts of the course of their choice.

Requirement: All installers, technicians, alarm monitors, and salespersons must take Level 1 Training (16 hours)within one year of hire date. Continuing Education is required of installers, technicians, salespersons, and managers to obtain eight hours, including one hour of ethics, upon each two-year renewal.
