Final Troubleshooting and Meter Skills beta class — September 15–16
Practice diagnosing real fire alarm and security circuit faults with a virtual meter, live in your browser. Join the final two-day instructor-led beta class for $500 per student before regular pricing returns to $1,000.
8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Central
Two full days
Hands-on practice from your browser
Practice the work, not just the theory
Use a virtual meter, work through realistic fire alarm and security circuits, isolate faults, and submit your diagnosis under live instructor guidance.

The same practical curriculum
This is not a shortened webinar. It is the normal live, instructor-led Troubleshooting and Meter Skills class delivered remotely over two full days.
Understand the circuitBuild a working understanding of voltage, current, resistance, series and parallel circuits, and the faults that compromise them.
Use a meter safelyLearn when and how to use voltage, resistance, continuity, current, manual range, min/max, and other useful meter functions.
Build a stronger service departmentHelp service technicians diagnose faults efficiently, reduce unnecessary parts swapping, protect recurring revenue relationships, and support healthier service gross margins.
Trace ground faults through waterSee how a ground fault can travel through water and learn a practical method for isolating where the unwanted path is occurring.
Find grounds using voltageLearn how voltage measurements can make ground faults easier to locate than resistance measurements do.
Diagnose difficult faultsWork through opens, shorts, reverse polarity, intermittent faults, weak faults, and multiple simultaneous problems.
Follow a repeatable processReplace guessing and unnecessary parts swapping with a disciplined troubleshooting method that narrows the problem quickly.
Read control circuitsPractice interpreting basic one-line DC electrical diagrams and understanding how relays are configured.
Focused on fire alarm and securityThese two-day online beta classes do not include the additional BAS-specific training aids used in dedicated in-person BAS classes. The online simulated versions of the BAS training aids are still in progress.
What makes this a beta?
The instruction is the same content taught in the normal two-day fire alarm and security versions of the in-person class. The new part is how students practice. Instead of everyone sharing one physical Troubleshooting Station, these cohorts will be the first live classes to use the new online Troubleshooting Simulator, which replicates real-world electrical troubleshooting experiences in a browser.
Although it has been tested, you may encounter some rough edges in the simulator. We will ask for candid feedback so we can improve it before regular online classes begin.
The beta simulator license is valid for one year. You may experience periods of interruption as we continue to improve the simulator and add new functionality.
- Live instructor guidance throughout both days
- Fire alarm and security service focus
- Real-time simulator troubleshooting exercises
- One-year beta simulator license
- Structured feedback during the class
- 16 hours of instruction
- Normal price after beta: $1,000 per student
