The benefits of remote training to the security market include recruiting better talent, providing high-quality service into smaller markets, and offering flexibility. Internet-based training enables our industry professionals to connect with trade schools and technical colleges offering specialized training, similar to the IT industry. By connecting with students, it opens the door to young talent that may have never considered security as a career. Online courses allow rural market companies access to the same quality training as larger markets. This elevates the local talent and keeps local money in the local market while having access to the same product and service quality as much larger markets. On-demand courses provide immeasurable flexibility. Smaller, modular sessions enable students to become certified at a comfortable pace, and refresher lessons can be taken the day before an install. For technicians, weather delays become course time, and for consultants, lunchtime becomes learning time.
