Our partnerships with Videcon, Eagle Eye Networks, and Paxton allow apprentices to gain invaluable, hands-on experience with innovative security systems, ensuring they are well-prepared for the real-life integration operations.”

Videcon’s expertise in video surveillance, intrusion and access control, including the renowned brand Concept Pro. Offers apprentices active experience with top-tier cameras, recorders, and market leading AI technology. Featuring high-resolution imaging, night vision, and intuitive interfaces, these technologies enhance apprentices' understanding of modern security solutions for improving threat detection and active prevention in residential and commercial settings.

Eagle Eye Networks equips learners with a comprehensive understanding of cloud video surveillance, the fastest growing segment of the security industry.
