The training course is also invaluable to technically minded end users who wish to ensure that their own CCTV systems are operating with optimum accuracy and efficiency.

On this fascinating training course, you will learn how to carry out the building fire risk assessments that are now mandatory for anyone responsible for business premises – including employers, voluntary organizations, clubs and charities.

You will also acquire the fundamental skills needed to recommend, upgrade or fully install fire alarm equipment, as required. There are no prerequisites. The training course is open to all but it will be of particular interest to installers, sales personnel, technicians, engineer, consultants and fire alarm system users.

It is important that only those who have completed our Foundation CCTV course or who have appropriate underpinning knowledge should attend this CCTV Repair course. Delegates will be able to successfully identify, diagnose and rectify a wide range of CCTV faults with confidence and efficiency.
