suggest certifications / academics

hmmm !!! thanks , something else that you can suggest.

I always thought the Sentrol Application Handbook was a pretty good guide.

Pick a manufacturer, go to their web site, click on training.

I was gonna suggest 5 years in the field with a tech with 15+ years experience.

Thanks people you all are great .

If you can also tell me about a formal cetification that would do across manufacturing institutions.

Nicet comes to mind but that's fire stuff.

There really isn't much in the way of formal training for alarm installers. Some folks say it shows up in the workmanship. The average installer hasn't finished high school, let alone attended college level training. There are a few places (one is in CT but the name escapes me) that offer class and lab training for aspiring alarm installers. Most get their training in the field, working for whichever local alarm company is willing to train them.

And that would be equivalent to about two hours on the phone with the "you-know-who". :-)

And I'll bet you typed that whole thing with a "straight face" too. I've yet to meet an installer that didn't have grade twelve and some post secondary education. Your experience in CT just serves to highlight that states poor educational resources (either that, or the positive stupidity of its residents, but then... they did allow an unlicensed convicted felon to service and sell alarm equipment).

Naaa.. He had a "shit eatin' grin" I'm sure. He's trolling.

well, thats total BS

here we have multiple school that give a training of 1800 hours on all the aspect of alarm

burglar, fire, CCTV, access ,sprinkler ,asset management, electicity, electronics, logic, video distribution , central station, telephone system, and a little of home automation and structured wiring...

too bad its in Quebec and most of youy could not undertsand anything as its all in french

That's the "Fast Trac" to success class.

Bass has condensed the entire 1800 hours and 15 years of field experience into one individual two hour telephone seminar. He sells upwards of eleven systems a day which means he's on the phone for twenty-two hours. The last three customers of the day figure his snoring is "static" or a poor connection. They spend their time "troubleshooting" their phones.
