I've been looking for a similar thing, though more for rounding off my tech's 
rough edges through ride alongs or more hands-on best practices. 


I may work on certifications as well. 




To echo Ken, yeah, you'll have to tread lightly on IL licensing regulations. 
We're trying to navigate that now.

Subject: [AFMUG] Certification training - low Voltage 


So on a new venture im working with, full service MSP, we are setting the low 
voltage construction side programs in play. The non electrician tasks are 
camera, nvr, access control, alarm panel and sensors, wireless (wifi), 
structured cable, etc... the usual suspects. 


There are 4 tiers of technician, wire pulling monkey, basic tech monkey, lead 
monkey, field engineer monkey. 


We are looking at the base low voltage training/certifications. checked out 
BICSI, but unless im missing something, it seems antiquated in what theyre 
training on. 


Im not interested in a discussion of whether certs are useful or not, they 
arent, The programs are more toward measuring drive, trainability, and 
retention, plus a base consistency in core competencies. 


What is good out there? This isnt for in house MSP staff, this is the field 
construction and maintenance staff. The regular nerds will get different 
programming. 


There isnt unlimited funding, but the investment in formal competency training 
is a priority of the purse. Hands on is a parallel path, but the reality is 
each iteration of hands on only in house training results in ingrained bad 
habits throughout the org. I didnt just put my kids hands on the hot stove, i 
also liked to have them watch safety videos about burns
