Tom Filce, Mayflex Director of Sales for Security commented ‘Many of our customers are focused on delivering structured cabling solutions and often miss out on the opportunity to install access control or IP CCTV as part of the installation, due to not having the right skill sets. To help our customers we’ve developed free training to educate and support them to make the transition from offering pure cabling to a converged solution, and thereby providing more sales opportunities and the ability to earn extra revenue.’
Tom continued ‘This latest course follows on from the success of the Introduction to IP CCTV course which again was written and delivered by James Vian and to date 111 companies have taken the course and a number of these are now regularly installing security solutions. This new course provides the foundation before moving on to specific vendor training courses from our vendor partners such as Paxton, Suprema, Hikvision, Avigilon, Axis and Mobotix who all provide access control solutions.”
James Vian, Mayflex Technical and Training Manager added ‘We’ve had a great response to the courses so far, which have been well attended. Even with them being delivered online they’ve have provided the environment for customers to ask questions and interact with the content. I’m delighted to have seen several of the attendees to Introduction to IP CCTV course move on to start offering security solutions.”
