“Adoption of IP-based systems is growing rapidly — creating increased demand for training, said Jim Musshafen, director of sales operations, Bosch Security Systems. “With hands-on classroom style courses in locations around the country as well as e-learning options, our training is very accessible. Many of our courses also provide continuing education units to help our customers maintain licensing requirements.”
 
Bosch currently offers 24 online training courses, which can be taken in modules, on demand . Topics range from general network basics to product certification. Thirteen of these courses offer continuing education units.
 
At seven training facilities across the U.S., Bosch also offers 16 in-depth classroom courses, delivered multiple times throughout the year. Covering various topics on video surveillance, access control, intrusion detection, public address, radio dispatch and other communications equipment, classes focus on the installation, programming and troubleshooting of systems. Each course gives customers the information they need to design, install, and maintain dependable security and communications systems from Bosch.
 
The company also offers a variety of brief video tutorials with product overview information as well as details on installation and programming.
