Holocom Certification Training Program
As of August 2016, all three Holocom Training courses carry BICSI accreditation. BICSI CECs can be earned upon completion of each of these courses.
The Holocom curriculum consists of three courses: Installation, Design, and Quality Assurance. Implementation experience is required for final certification.
Introduction to Holocom Training
Holocom PDS has physical characteristics that require different installation techniques than those used for generic EMT conduit. Due to these differences, Holocom offers training courses to ensure that customers receive a classified network installation that is compliant and approved. Most courses prepare students for required industry recognized certification, which is a welcomed addition to any resume.
Benefits
- Credibility – The Holocom name has a strong reputation in the world of classified infrastructure, providing our certified partners with credibility and ensuring the end customer feels secure in a Holocom solution.
