Security professionals throughout the country are required to take an Alarm Level I (or equivalent) course prior to being licensed by the State. The majority of these certification courses are available only through a traditional classroom setting for two to three days at a time. This creates a huge problem for the majority of licensees due to logistical, monetary reasons, and time constraints. Elite CEU is proud to offer a State approved Alarm Level I training course in a convenient yet educational online platform. All approved courses, curriculum, and testing will be offered through a self-paced web-based training platform. Since this will allow everyone to access these courses anytime - and anywhere - all required licensees will now have the opportunity to meet their mandatory requirements in a more timely and economical fashion.
