Online Training Program For PSNA Certification Launches

Oct 9, 2007 4:11 PM

The first in a series of five new courses for security and IT professionals engaged in IP networking and security integration that leads to certification as a Physical Security Network Associate (PSNA) are now available online. The launch of the PSNA Certification Online Training program was announced by Connie Moorhead, president of The CMOOR Group, a developer of security industry online training and educational programs.

"These are the only online courses that offer dedicated training to support IP networking and convergence models," Moorhead says. "There is an incredible need for this information now and especially as the industry integrates this technology over the next ten years." The certification is beneficial for engineering, sales and technical personnel as well as end-users that are involved with the design, implementation, support or procurement of IP or integrated physical security systems.

The PSNA Certification Online Training program provides twelve modules in five targeted courses developed in cooperation with Jim Gompers of GOMPERS Inc. Gompers is a expert in the field and was responsible for establishing the IP Institute offered through ISC Education. The fully interactive courses include Basic Networking, Video on IP, Operating Systems, Integration and Roles in the Convergence Market. The fee for a single course is $125, or $495 for the complete series.

"I am proud of these courses because they provide the basic foundation of knowledge that every person will be required to have to work successfully with integrated security systems and IP networking," Gompers says. "The ability to obtain certification will ensure that every person will be capable of working with new technology as it is introduced in the coming years."

Certification testing is available to those who have completed the courses and will be offered at International Security Conference (ISC) Expos beginning in 2008. Private proctored certification testing is also available. The courses will be approved for Continuing Education Units (CEUs) by at least six national organizations including NICET and NTS.
