Upon graduation from our Telecommunications Technician training course, our students will master the basics of electronic and electro-mechanical technology, telecommunications technology (Telephony) coupled with the specific job skills and experience needed for the installation, repair and maintenance of telecommunications systems and commercial/residential cabling systems, including electronic telephone systems, KSU, PBX's, electronic security alarm systems and data cabling systems, Local Area Network (LAN) technology, repair and maintenance, PC Computer upgrades, repair and maintenance.
Additionally, students of both courses will be taught customer relations including proper business decorum and employee/employer relations so that they can effectively operate in both a customer and employer office. They are also trained in interviewing techniques and job retention skills.
Our job specific training emphasizes "hands-on" skills training where students spend a significant amount of time actually working on office equipment or telecommunications equipment. This takes place in a classroom/workshop type of setting where students have the benefit of participating in lecture and also having a "hands-on" shop area. Our instructional staff will monitor the results of individual competency achievements throughout the course, and document the individual students skills acquisitions.
