“A specialist is like gumboil: his completeness is one-sided.”
Kozma Prutkov
The security systems market, perhaps like no other, requires from specialists knowledge from a wide variety of fields, such as electrical engineering, radio engineering, television, solid state physics, optics, mechanics, digital technology, chemistry, information technology, engineering psychology… The lack of such knowledge with over time, as a rule, it is replenished by experience (this takes a long time, and sometimes it is too expensive), since it can be difficult to obtain systematic knowledge. This was the case until recently, until the opportunity arose to improve the technical level using online training courses on the School of Security website http://school.security-bridge/
What courses?
At this stage of the project, the Security School is launching basic Internet courses in the following areas:
CCTV (closed circuit television);
Digital video and network technologies;
Fiber optic technology;
Biometric technologies;
Basic principles of electrical engineering.
The School of Security plans to create specialized courses of a higher level.
Who are these courses intended for?
It’s easier to ask the question differently: who doesn’t need these courses? They are not needed by specialists who have been working in these areas for many years (to them this basic knowledge may seem elementary). As for beginners in these areas, each of these courses can be very useful for them.
It would seem, well, who needs the basics of electrical engineering? At school, in physics, everyone was taught about electrons and neutrons, and about magnetism, and about Kirchhoff’s equations, and about coils with capacitors, even about diodes with transistors. However, in reality it turns out that they were taught to teach, but it turns out that not everyone remembers it.
Take advertising specialists for example: the specifics of the market dictate the need for them to know at least the basic fundamentals of electrical engineering (so that in press releases and booklets the power is indicated in watts, not volts).
Or take designers who sometimes forget to take into account the drop in supply voltage on the wires going to security detectors, video cameras or electric locks.
And how many devices fail due to the fault of installers who do not know the basics of electrical engineering! Let’s be honest, widespread computerization teaches young people to think in very high categories, but it also sometimes confuses them in the simplest life situations, when a confident knowledge of Ohm’s law is required.
The above applies to the basic principles of electrical engineering, but similar arguments can be made for any of the listed courses; Is it worth further agitating for the need to study?
Who is the author of these courses?
The author of these courses is Jayant Kapatker, President of STAM Multimedia Inc. (USA). He has significant experience in the security systems market: 10 years of work in India and Nepal (at the Philips representative office in Kathmandu, which he organized), 3 years of work in Spain, 12 years of work in Australia — there he organized a design and installation company in the field of CCTV Visiontech. In Australia, Giant Kapatker also founded a training company, where, together with Vlado Damjanovski, he trained security specialists. His signature CCTV course on CD has been distributed in more than 50 countries around the world and has had a revolutionary impact on CCTV teaching methods.
Advantages of online training
To put it briefly, online training for security specialists is:
independent choice of a convenient learning speed for completing the educational material , choosing a place convenient for learning,
access 24 hours a day, 7 days a week wherever there is Internet,
interactive audio and visual content,
Russian-language interface,
testing and obtaining certificates online.
In conclusion, it probably needs to be said that this form of training is attractive both to specialists who want to broaden their horizons and gain basic knowledge in the listed disciplines, and to company managers — everyone who understands that an investment funds for education are one of the most profitables.
