Currently Electronic Security has three registration categories, Security Sales, Security Technician, and Central Station Operator. Each category has its own training requirements. In fact, in this business, all these individuals need to know similar information. In addition, many individuals, particularly in smaller companies, carry multiple categories. I have several employees who carry all three, including myself. This means that we must attend three different training sessions during each renewal period.
Since the categories need similar training and many classes can be applied to all categories, it would be simpler and more feasible to have a single training session satisfy the requirements for all three categories for any individual. It makes no sense to have a single individual attend three classes just to maintain three categories of registration, when the information provided is in many cases the same.
