New Paxton Training Program Offered

Paxton Access is introducing a new online access control training program this week. Easily accessible via their website, it offers installers more options and opportunities to enhance their skills anytime, anywhere.

Paxton is currently offering a free 30-day license to people who register before June 1. The online training program consists of bite-sized modules arranged by product covering Paxton’s access control and video intercom product lines giving installers the flexibility they need to learn. This means that those unable to attend a training session can work through online classes at their own pace, or revisit modules to sharpen their skills.

Installers can take courses while working, while in-between jobs, or while taking time to raise a family. Online courses provide the opportunity to improve technical skills in preparation for career advancement. Installers can plan study time around the rest of their day, and bite-sized modules allow installers to learn on their schedule.

“We have always been hugely passionate about training & education. We meet thousands of installers face to face in free training classes every year all over the world,” said Steve Woodbridge, global training manager at Paxton. “Launching easy to access online training for our U.S. customers is so important to us right now. Providing more options for installers to complete Paxton training feeds into our company value of simplicity – enabling people to learn wherever they are and fit training into their schedule.

“While our in-person training program will continue to expand, providing an option for those unable to attend makes perfect sense. Paxton online training means installers and integrators will benefit from our 30-plus years of industry experience from wherever they are, whenever they choose.”
