Course Overview

This course covers very basic elements necessary to qualify for ATC 1. Curriculum includes an introduction to the alarm industry, basic math (i.e. fractions, decimal counting etc.), electronics (voltage, current, circuits, resistance, power, transformers, power supplies, batteries etc.), standards (ULC products, listed companies, standards and guidelines, CANASA installation guidelines) and safety (basic equipment, clothing, tools, vehicle safety, job planning and clean up).

The intent of the Prerequisite course is to assess the basic background material for successful completion of the ATC Level 1 Certification
