Axis Communications, the Swedish-based network CCTV product company, reports that its training academy is ten years old. Since 2005 it’s helped more than 50,000 partners to add to their network video knowledge.
Network video accounts for almost 50 per cent of all new installations of video surveillance globally, says Axis. One of the keys to Axis the firm says is the partner network, which has grown from about 2,000 to more than 75,000 partners, in some 179 countries.
Axis Communications’ Academy during 2005 saw 696 people took part in classroom training, and this year, the number of participants is expected to exceed 10,000. More than 50,000 partners have been trained in the advantages of network security solutions and in Axis’ cameras and technology in the area. In addition, almost 4,200 people had their network video knowledge validated through Axis’ global certification, as launched in 2011.
Charlotte Löffler Ivarsson, Manager Academy & Technical Information Management, says: “We are strongly dedicated to boosting our partners’ competence and to providing them with the training they need to be able to sell, design, install and configure security solutions of the highest quality to their customers.”
All training is developed within the framework of Axis Communications’ Academy and carried out by Axis’ own trainers, the company adds.
