Whether you are a security practitioner or security dealer, training is critical.
More resources are coming directly to your laptop instead of you having to travel. Rest assured though, there are still plenty of classroom based sessions for those so inclined for highly complex topics that require intensive, hands-on experience with security hardware and software. New online learning resources come in many flavors such as formal online academy settings as well as tutorial videos on YouTube or manufacturer websites.
So ask yourself these key questions:
Having a technical staff that is up to date and proficient will reduce labor costs and satisfy clients. Nothing impresses security end users more than a knowledgeable technician. A technician that can install, maintain, and repair a system with ease and in a timely manner is a top goal for installing contractors. Take advantage of the ease of accessibility. It will be time well spent and provide your firm with measureable ROI.
