how to locate them and how to apply them. You will be able to define basic installation procedures and the underlying technology behind the various security system tools and equipment.Content: 90% lecture/% hands on PRP: L42; no after class examTHIS CLASS IS NOT AVAILABLE AS PART OF ANY PACKAGE. THIS CLASS REQUIRES A SEPARATE REGISTRATION FEE.

Class Descriptions and Education TracksAs a result of our efforts to make your learning experience better, you’ll notice a few changes with the class descriptions in this year’s brochure.

After the class title and instructor or instructors’ names, you’ll see a listing titled Track(s). This listing is designed to help those new to the industry or testing, and anyone looking to determine what value a class has in relation to the type of work they do. We’ve segmented the industry into the following groups and designations:

G – General Locksmithing. Good classes for beginners, newer people to the industry, people needing refresher information, and pretty much anyone in the industry.I – Institutional Locksmithing. Geared toward on-staff security profes-sionals for facilities from school districts to high-rise buildings. A – Automotive Locksmithing. Designed for those who specialize in automotive locksmithing or those who do auto work as a general part of their business.

S – Safe/Vault Technician. Geared to-ward the technician who works on safes and vaults, and the special problems encountered with the items.E – Electronic Locksmithing. De-signed for one of the fastest-growing segments of our industry: those working on alarms and access controls and lock-ing systems that don’t always incorpo-rate a physical key.IV – Investigative Locksmithing. While all classes are good for the investigative locksmith, as they add to the knowledge needed to examine and testify, these classes are of particular in-terest and/or part of the required training to sit for the Certified Forensic Locksmith (CFL) certification.B – Business. The oft-forgotten seg-ment of the industry. While we all may be gifted and talented hands-on techni-cians, the one place we all may need help is in learning more efficient and profitable ways to operate our business.

As you’re choosing classes, pay attention to these Tracks to make sure you’re taking something of relevance to

your business.The next big change is at the bottom

of each description: the Class Content notice. This tells you, based on the instructors’ lesson plans, how much time is spent working hands-on with product, and how much time is spent listening and/or taking notes on items of impor-tance. Understand that a class listed as 75% hands on, 25% lecture doesn’t mean you are going to spend 25% of the time simply writing and listening. It means, as in the case of the Fundamen-tals class, that even while in the process of working hands-on, you will be given information that is important to you.

Finally, there’s a line that tells you if a class is important in the study for the PRP test, and if so, what section of the test it applies to; and, if an after-class test is available.

We hope these changes help you choose the right class for you and the class track that fits your needs — but don’t get tunnel vision! All knowledge is good and even those outside of your track will be of interest.
