ACCESS CONTROL COURSE
GENERAL
An effective Access Control System can form an integral part of an effective security system. This course is designed to give participants a practical knowledge of the operation and installation of Access Control Systems at a foundation level.
ACCESS CONTROL
Aim:
This practically based course is designed to give participants a practical knowledge of the operation and installation of
Access Control Systems at a foundation level.
Qualification:
- On completion of the Course, having been successful in TWO examinations (one written, one practical) the participant will receive a Hi-Tech Training Certificate.
- Please note: - Access Control course participants who have attended the Hi-Tech Training courses in
Alarm Installation and Digital, Text & Voice Communicators may sit the FETAC written examination leading to FETAC - Level 5 Component Award – Intruder Alarm & Access Control (C20161) on the last training session of this course.
Duration:
18 hours (6 x 3 hour training sessions). Classes will be held in comfortable surroundings.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the fundamental elements that make up an Access Control System.
- Fit the principal components of a stand-alone system and networked systems.
- Connect and programme a card, keypad and proximity stand alone system.
- Effectively connect up, test and fault-find system elements.
- Be aware of the issues associated with Access Control Systems.
- Have an awareness of the changing technology and it's impact on the industry
Course Content:
- Access Control Systems: – Introduction, principles, uses and applications.
- Elements of basic and advanced, insecure and secure Access systems.
- Stages of Access Control: - Identification, Decision, Action.

Please Note: - A large percentage this Access Control Training course timetable is allocated to building, setting-up, testing and trouble-shooting faults using core elements of modern Access Control Systems. At the end of the course an interested and hardworking participant will have a good foundation knowledge of what Access Control is all about.
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 provides them with the "Hands-On" experience and confidence which are so essential for success.
Practical “Hands-On” experience: - 50% approx.
