eLearning

• Honeywell eLearning courses provide electronic access to a course for a specific number of days. For example, as of 2011, the Access Control Operator with DVM course--estimated to take four to five hours--gives students 90-day access, allowing them to study at their own pace. Developed for new Access Control operators who require a fundamental understanding of basic functions, this course is simple and straightforward. It remains a good reference source long after the course is completed. Access Control Administrator Training for new administrators takes students through relevant basic functions and subsequently serves as reference material as well. Estimated to take six to seven hours, this course comes with 90-day access also. Students learn to configure operator profiles, back up and restore system files, download controller files and perform a number of other key administrative functions.
