Level 1 Training for Onboarding New-Hire Technicians
The Level One Training course for Low Voltage Technicians introduces students to five core competencies of low voltage systems: intrusion, video security, access control, networking and fire alarm systems – focusing on design considerations and code compliance, if applicable, for each.
This course is delivered as an online, self-study program to allow students to access the material at their own pace, with quizzes at the end of each lesson.
Upon completion of each categorical module, the student will take a Level 1 Core Competency Certification (C3) exam to demonstrate their technical competency. Students who pass the exams will receive Core Competency Certification for each category.
The training is inclusive of the NTC Technician Level One for Low Voltage Systems textbook. Upon starting the course, the student will have 90 days to complete
