ACCESS CONTROL
An effective Access Control System can form an integral part of an effective
security system. At Hi-Tech Training our course is designed to give participants
a practical knowledge of the operation and installation of Access Control
Systems.
Our experience has taught us that in order to gain the required skills an
installer needs to learn through as much practical training as possible. This
course involves 50% “Hands-On” training which involves building, setting up,
testing and troubleshooting faults using core elements of modern Access Control
Systems.
At the end of the course, an interested and hardworking participant will have a
good solid foundation of knowledge of what access control is all about.
AIM
This practically based Access Control course is designed to give participants a
practical knowledge of the operation and installation of Access Control Systems
at a foundation level. Each module of the training program is backed up by
practical exercises, demonstrations and course materials.
These training methods give the participant a greater grasp of the practical
aspects of the industry and provide them with the “Hands-On” experience and
confidence which are so essential for success.
DURATION AND SCHEDULE
Hi-Tech Training Access Control Course. Next course commencing Tuesday 23rd
April at 7.00pm (Tuesday and Thursday evenings (7-10pm) on Zoom for 2 weeks,
then last day in centre on Saturday 4th May (10am–5pm).
A payment of £65 secures your place on your chosen course. The balance of the

ONLINE VIRTUAL CLASSROOM – HOW IT WORKS?
The course will be delivered through blended training consisting of 4 online
virtual classroom sessions commencing on Tuesday 26th March at 7.00pm. (Tuesdays
and Thursdays 7pm-10pm). The last session will involve the additional practical
work for the course as well as the written examination and practical assessments
which will take place at our training centre at 43 North Great Georges Street,
Dublin 1 on Saturday 6th March (10am-5pm). (completed online for non ROI
learners).
During the virtual classroom sessions, Trainees will have a live video feed with
their instructor talking to them, doing practical live demonstrations on
equipment being involved actively in the learning.
We will send out a practical kit so that trainees can complete assignments and
practical work at home. The kit is the property of Hi-Tech Training and will be
returned to Hi-Tech Training on the last day of the course.
(The kits may also be purchased by the learner…. See the Kits Page Link
[http://hitechtraining.ie/product-category/alarm-access-cctv-courses/access-control-course/] for
more details).
The kit consists of a multimeter, connectors, components including resistors,
diodes, fuses and security cable, electric locks (maglock and electric strike),
access control keypad door control unit, emergency egress button, exit button,
and power supply unit, Trainees will build various projects as part of the
course.
The kit forms an integral part of the course, so full course fees need to be
paid at least 7 days prior to course commencement to allow time to ship the kit
in time for the course.
* If attending the course from outside of Ireland the course practical training
kit must be purchased via our online shop in time for delivery before course
commencement. The equipment will then remain the property of the trainee.
In preparation for each course, we have a quick informal free 1h online meeting
approx 7 days prior to course commencement to make sure that trainees get
connected through Zoom properly, let them know what the virtual classroom will
be like and go through any questions they may have. To join the virtual
sessions, you will need a PC/Laptop or Tablet with an internet connection.
Joining instructions (login IDs, etc.) will be sent before the Informal
Induction session.
