Advanced Burglar Alarm Technician
Course Now Available Online
NBFAA Continues its Commitment to Education

Irving, Texas, August 1, 2007 – From the comfort of their own home or office, industry professionals can now receive even more training online from the National Burglar & Fire Alarm Association’s (NBFAA) National Training School (NTS), the nation’s leader in alarm training and certification. Graduates of the Certified Alarm Technician (Level I) course can now seek their Advanced Burglar Alarm Technician (ABAT) training online.

“NTS’ purpose is to provide training to systems integrators throughout the country. Time is money in this industry and while time spent in a classroom perfecting a skill is a valuable investment for any systems integrator, it can be a hurdle for some. The Internet is a great tool to reach those individuals. From anywhere in the world, they are able to receive this valuable training, and do so on their own time,” said NBFAA Education Committee Chairman Paul Baran.

Participants will learn how to properly wire and troubleshoot speakers and siren drivers, determine the minimum size power supply needed for a system to operate for a specified number of hours without primary power, choose the number, location and type of detection devices to meet customer's needs, list the completion tests that must be performed to ensure proper system operation, identify the factors that must be considered before selecting a panel, troubleshoot a system that has failed to communicate and describe the purpose and operation of each programmable option in the Security Industry Association (SIA) Control Panel Standard.

This course is also available in a classroom format around the country. For a complete list of locations near you, or to register online for the electronic option, go to the Professional Development section at www.alarm.org.
