Here are a couple of upcoming opportunities for online training…

January 22nd, 2015:  Access Control Solutions for Gates and Remote Locations (John Dalrymple, Allegion)

Description: Protecting school grounds is a top priority, but adding access control in remote areas can be problematic. Fire and life safety codes for applications such as gates are often overlooked. This webinar will look at the unique needs of an elementary school in securing the bus parking area. We will discuss the codes that must be considered and provide an overview of several innovative wireless solutions that enable electronic access control to quickly and easily be added.  Click here to register.
