Courses
Network Fundamentals for Security Integrators
Three days on the network every camera, controller, and VMS server depends on: addressing, VLANs, PoE, multicast, and the faults that take systems down.
Security Integrator Fundamentals
From design to handover: site design, low voltage, data cabling, installation methods, and the access control, intrusion, and video systems that sit on top.
CPCSC Bootcamp
One day from zero to a Level 1 evidence plan for the Canadian Program for Cyber Security Certification.
Network and Windows Hardening
Three days hardening the switches and the Windows servers under a physical security system, worked through as demos and exercises on real configurations.
Datacom Fundamentals for Security Integrators
Three days on copper, fibre, low voltage, and the network basics a security install stands on, from terminations and fibre to pathways, labelling, and testing.
Datacom Fundamentals for Electricians
Three days for electricians adding structured cabling, fibre, and low-voltage systems to their work, from termination and fibre basics to testing and handover.
Hardening Control Networks
Three days hardening the OT and building networks that run plants, utilities, and facilities, using IEC 62443 zones and conduits as the working model.
Control Network Hardening Crash Course
One day on the ten changes that take a flat plant network from exposed to defensible: asset inventory, zones, switch management, and vendor access.
Schedule
The network, hardening, and CPCSC courses run most months, the 1-day courses on a Friday, all 9:00 to 16:30 Eastern. Security Integrator Fundamentals usually runs in the evening, two nights a week over 3 to 4 weeks. The course calendar has every date, which ones are guaranteed to run, and online registration. The 2 Datacom courses are in-person courses run on your site by request, for a hall, a distributor, or a company. An online cohort opens for individuals now and then, and it goes on the calendar when it does.

How the courses run
Live, instructor-led, online. Private delivery at your site for groups of 6 or more. The daytime courses run 9:00 to 16:30 Eastern, and the 1-day courses are a single day on the same clock. Evening runs are 2 nights a week over 3 to 4 weeks.
Groups are capped at 12 so there is time for every participant's questions. Hans teaches every session himself. There is no slide reader and no guest instructor.
Dates are listed above and on each course page. Booking is by contact form or email with the date and the number of seats, and the invoice follows once your seat is confirmed. A cohort with fewer than 4 confirmed seats a week out moves to the next month, and you are told before you travel.
Continuing professional education
Every course is eligible for continuing professional education credit. The certificate lists the contact hours for submission to bodies that accept instructor-led training. That covers the common security and IT bodies that take self-reported hours with a certificate, and most provincial licensing bodies that accept instructor-led technical training. Check with yours before you book if the credit is the point.
Group and corporate bookings
The Datacom courses are built to run for a whole room at once: union halls and training centres, electrical distributors hosting their contractor customers, and alarm, CCTV, and access control companies putting a crew through together. Group and corporate rates apply, and the course comes to your site.
A distributor can host a cohort for its contractor customers. A union hall can run it as part of an upgrade program. An alarm or CCTV company can put every technician through the same three days and stop arguing about terminations. Send the group size, the location, and the rough timing, and the group rate comes back with the quote. Ask about a group booking.
Private delivery
Any course can run at your site for a single organisation, with the examples drawn from the equipment you deploy and your own installs. Integrators usually book this for a crew between projects. Electrical contractors book the Datacom course before taking on their first structured cabling scope. Ask with the group size and the rough timing and the quote follows.
Free self-paced courses
The live courses build on the free Study Learning suite. Take these first if you want the foundations before you sit in a room, or afterward to keep the material fresh. They run in the browser with animated CLI, knowledge checks, and a final assessment.
- Network Primer Networking foundations, about 40 minutes.
- CCTV Fundamentals The camera side, 80 minutes.
- Network Hardening Vendor-neutral switch hardening, 80 minutes.
- Windows Hardening for Genetec The servers under the VMS, 85 minutes.
- Security Integrator The hub course, 90 minutes.
- OT Networks Purdue, IEC 62443, and ICS protocols, 90 minutes.
- Cisco IOS Syntax companion to Network Hardening, about 45 minutes.
