NBFAA's NTS Announces 1st Quarter Security Networking Institute Schedule

Fresh on the heels of a very successful debut in Louisiana, NBFAA's National Training School (NTS) announced the first quarter schedule for the Security Networking Institute.

The Security Networking Institute provides students with experience using live, networked devices, connections, cables and other accessories. Students gain complete and practical training in all aspects of network security devices including network cameras, access control, video servers, fiber optic networking and Wi-Fi communications.

The course, designed for technicians, salespeople and project managers will be held:

January 25-26 = Baltimore, MD
February 9-10 = Philadelphia, PA
March 10-11 = Greensboro, NC
March 17-18 = Metairie, LA

With networking a hot topic of interest given all of the changes and advances manufacturers are introducing with IT-based security equipment, the dates for the remainder of the years are filling in rapidly. NBFAA's NTS is planning on scheduling 15-20 of these classes across the United States in 2005.

"I expect that the upcoming classes will be sold out in no time," said NBFAA Education & Standards Director, Dale Eller. "Word about how informative the first class was has spread and dealers across the country are requesting this course in their area."

The Security Networking Institute is a vendor-independent training, provided by author and SDM editor Dave Engebretson. Detailed course information is available at www.SecurityNetworkingInstitute.com.

The first Security Networking Institute was held on September 23 and 24, 2004 in Metairie, La.  More than 30 students from twenty companies attended the course. The National Burglar and Fire Alarm Association founded the National Training School in 1985 to meet the ever-increasing need for standardized training within the electronic life safety, security and systems industry.

The dates listed above are subject to change. Anyone interested in taking one of these classes or scheduling a class in their area should contact NTS at 866-636-1687 or visit http://www.alarm.org/nts/.
