Tavcom Training launches its first virtual classroom courses

Tavcom Training, part of Linx International Group, has launched the first in a series of virtual classroom training courses to its classroom training portfolio starting with two fundamental courses: Intruder Alarm System Design BTEC Level 3 and CCTV System Design and Planning BTEC Level 3.

Delivered via Zoom through online interactive lectures and workshops and guided by the same expert instructors as the classroom courses, learners will have the chance to gain an accredited certification in a live environment, without having to travel.

Andrew Saywell, Business Development Manager for Tavcom Training says: “We understand a lot of our learners come to us for the high standard or training we deliver here at Tavcom, and we wanted to find a way to provide that high standard of classroom learning to the many who can’t travel. Our new virtual classroom courses are a crucial solution to this. Delivered by and in partnership with our lead tutors, they are fully interactive and designed to provide professionals with the necessary skills required to carry out the key elements of their job role.

“The launch of our accredited virtual training courses is just one in a series of latest developments that we are implementing in order to increase the accessibility of Tavcom Training courses to learners globally. Now more than ever it is easier to gain a worldwide recognised qualification.”

Learners can interact and ask questions like they would in the classroom, while tutor support, training resources, and protected soft copies of the learning material will continue to be available.

Intruder Alarm System Design BTEC Level 3 is the first course in the portfolio to be delivered virtually. It is said to be an essential course for technical specifiers, sales engineers and consultants who wish to work lawfully within the new legislative guidelines and to determine the risk assessment of each installation.
