SYSTIMAX Installation and Maintenance [ND3361] - CommScope Infrastructure Academy

Summary:

The practical classroom course covers installation, termination and testing practices specific to the complete SYSTIMAX solution to the warranty level, well beyond standards-based performance levels. Upon completion, the course allows students to warranty SYSTIMAX sites for installation provided their company is an approved SYSTIMAX Partner.

If no public I&M classes are currently scheduled for your location, we recommend the online version of this course which can be taken at the student's own pace and time. This is the SP3361 SYSTIMAX Installation and Maintenance course. Alternatively, if your company would like to organize and hold a private onsite classroom course, please let us know and we can give details and pricing. Also you may want to consider the Flexible Course Facility which enables the I&M to be taught by one of your own staff.
