2013 Training Schedule for Fire-Lite Alarms

For Fire-Lite training, course attendance is at an all-time high, and online training is expected to increase over the next year.

  • Dec 14, 2012

Fire-Lite Alarms by Honeywell has announced its schedule of fire alarm trainings to be held in more than 50 cities across the U.S. throughout 2013. The hands-on sessions comprise a free introductory products course and a more advanced software applications training. Plans to expand Fire-Lite Alarms’ library of online trainings are also in the works. All courses are accredited with the Electronic Security Association for Continuing Education Unit (CEU) credits.

“Course attendance for the last year has hit an all-time high,” stated Tom Rosa, Fire-Lite Alarms training supervisor. “I think it has to do with the growing demand in the market for a truly non-proprietary fire system, along with personal, classroom instruction with hands-on training that makes these courses so popular.”

Beginning in January, the two-day Fire-Lite Systems course will include instruction on the latest fire alarm and emergency communications systems that will be introduced sometime in 2013. Attendees of this course will earn 1.6 CEUs. A more advanced, one-day Fire-Lite Software Applications course which qualifies participants for 0.7 CEUs, will also be available.

“As the word got out about our online training, the rate of those course completions rose steadily,” said Rosa. “We’ve gotten some good feedback on these courses and some good topic suggestions so we’re definitely going to grow that online resource in the coming year.”

    GSX produced a wonderful tradeshow earlier this week. Monday was surprisingly strong in the morning, and the afternoon wasn’t bad at all. That’s Monday’s results and asking attendees to travel on Sunday. Just a quick hint, no one wants to give up their weekend to travel and set up an exhibit booth. I’m just saying. Read Now

  • Nothing Artificial About this Intelligence

    I have been looking forward to this year’s GSX show in New Orleans, the Cresent City, or if you prefer The Big Easy. It seems like quite a while since we’ve been here. Twenty years ago, ASIS, as it was known then was literally washed out of the city by someone known as Katrina. It is a good thing to come back to NOLA. Read Now

  • From Monitors to Mission Control

    Security Operations Centers (SOC) were once defined by rows of static monitors, each displaying a single feed with operators quietly watching for issues. That model has become obsolete. Incidents evolve too quickly, data comes from multiple locations, and decisions must be made in seconds—not minutes. Read Now

    A8V MIND

    Hexagon’s Geosystems presents a portable version of its Accur8vision detection system. A rugged all-in-one solution, the A8V MIND (Mobile Intrusion Detection) is designed to provide flexible protection of critical outdoor infrastructure and objects. Hexagon’s Accur8vision is a volumetric detection system that employs LiDAR technology to safeguard entire areas. Whenever it detects movement in a specified zone, it automatically differentiates a threat from a nonthreat, and immediately notifies security staff if necessary. Person detection is carried out within a radius of 80 meters from this device. Connected remotely via a portable computer device, it enables remote surveillance and does not depend on security staff patrolling the area.
