SIA Offers Unique Central Station Training Program

Instructor-led course certifies students as operators and trainers

As a result of attending the central station training course, I was able to streamline the existing operator training to include more standardized procedures and workplace scenarios for our colleagues

It made me rethink my approach to projects and issues. Since completing the course, I have been given the responsibility to apply the methods and principles of the CST course throughout our division.

Alexandria, Va. (Vocus/PRWEB ) June 17, 2009 -- The Security Industry Association is offering the only 40-hour central station training (CST) program in the industry that includes classroom training with proctored exams and certifies students to be both operators and instructors.

SIA's CST course is a cost-effective program that provides information about the entire process of training a central station operator from experienced instructors. It identifies the necessary elements of an in-house training program and teaches techniques for evaluating progress and working with students to improve their performance.

"As a result of attending the central station training course, I was able to streamline the existing operator training to include more standardized procedures and workplace scenarios for our colleagues," said Andrew Skehan, Quality Analysis Specialist in Citizens Financial Bank's Capability Investigations and Physical Security Division. "It made me rethink my approach to projects and issues. Since completing the course, I have been given the responsibility to apply the methods and principles of the CST course throughout our division."
