It is more of a 200 level class covering both the NICET Installation and Design certification tests.\u00a0 This session provides some cross training from individuals in the class sharing their experiences including those who have taken the NICET exam \u00a0 If possible it is highly recommended to have the participant take (do not need to pass) the installer level 1 on-line test prior to attendance. The topics move fast and assume base knowledge.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ERCES Installer Training and NICET IB-PSC Prep<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Instructor:\u00a0 Mike Brownson, a 50-year veteran of the wireless industry with extensive ERCES experience, will conduct the training. Mike is also the managing editor and contributing author of the Complete ERCES Handbook.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Abstract: Proper installation of ERCES (Emergency Responder Communication Enhancement Systems), also known as BDA or DAS, requires specific knowledge of building and fire code requirements. This 2-day hands-on class will guide individuals through the proper design, installation, and implementation of these systems to ensure maximum performance and code compliance. This training will focus on best practices for installation, testing, and commissioning of ERCES system equipment. This class will also help prepare students to pass the NICET IB-PSC (In-Building Public Safety Communications) exam. Motorola Solutions has made the customization to focus a bit more on the design and engineering aspects covered by the NICET exam. Some construction topics were left in place as they have an impact on some of the submittal requirements and bill of materials. The session does cover Radio networks to get the group&#8217;s feedback on typical radio network designs.<\/p>\n<p>Registration: $600 (before partner discount)\u00a0 classroom is set to accommodate up to 20 students. Coffee\/Drinks and Lunch provided both Tuesday and Wednesday and Tuesday Networking Reception with drinks \/ apps. Students will receive a copy of the Complete ERCES Handbook ($150 value), the complete definitive guide to ERCES systems. The ERCES Handbook is also a permitted reference in the NICET IB-PSC exams.<\/p>\n<p>NICET Certification: If the ultimate goal is to obtain NICET certification it is highly recommended the participants complete and submit the appropriate application 4 weeks PRIOR to the training session by visiting <a href=\"https:\/\/nicet.useclarus.com\/login?forward_url=%2F___.YzJ1OnN0YXRlb2ZpbmRpYW5hOmM6bzo4NWU3NjgyZjUwZmEzNGUzNmIyMjNmNmYzMjM0YzU4YTo3OmVlOTY6MjEyZGEwNTMyNDdiMjI4YzdkODI0MzBjNDE5MDhiMTBjNTYzYjQ1MDIxNjcxYzc0NTY0MzE4OGEyZWEwYjlkYjp0OlQ6Tg\">THIS SITE<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>More information can be found on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nicet.org\/\">NICET website<\/a><\/p>\n<p>More information NICET Certification Program can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nicet.org\/certification-programs\/electrical-and-mechanical-systems\/in-building-public-safety-communications\/___.YzJ1OnN0YXRlb2ZpbmRpYW5hOmM6bzo4NWU3NjgyZjUwZmEzNGUzNmIyMjNmNmYzMjM0YzU4YTo3OjJlODU6NzMzYjZiN2Q2ZDgzNTA1YmVjNDRkZmE4ZDJlMTExYmFlZjA1YTg3NjY5NmU4ZmYyNDVjYTAwYzhkZWY3NjZmYzp0OlQ6Tg\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Application Fees:<\/p>\n<p>Level 1\u00a0 $230<\/p>\n<p>Level 2\u00a0 $300<\/p>\n<p>Level 3\u00a0 $355<\/p>\n<p>Design\u00a0 $355<\/p>\n<p>NICET TEST: We highly recommend the participants to schedule their test 4 weeks PRIOR to the training session for the week after the training activity.\u00a0 Testing Sessions scheduled independently through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pearsonvue.com\/us\/en\/nicet\/onvue.html___.YzJ1OnN0YXRlb2ZpbmRpYW5hOmM6bzo4NWU3NjgyZjUwZmEzNGUzNmIyMjNmNmYzMjM0YzU4YTo3OjAzMTE6NTViYzlhMzM3NWNkYzU2YThkMmI2MmI5ZTBmOGYwMTc2MmFhZTQ1MGI4OWE4NDJjYjhmMzM4MjY5OTlhOTMxNzp0OlQ6Tg\">Pearson Vue Testing Centers<\/a><\/p>\n<p>* Before scheduling your exam appointment, you must complete and submit the appropriate application.
