Niagara 4 Certification - Level 2 - Advanced - 5 Day Class

Four days of remote classroom training with hands-on lab exercises, descriptive presentations and lectures, followed on day 5 by a written test as well as a practical hands-on station test. Students in this class will advance their understanding of working in a Niagara4 Station, allowing the student to more quickly and efficiently satisfy the customer’s needs in the stations built for real-world installations.  This class includes an in-depth look at Supervisor Station configuration as well as tools that apply to stations running on a JACE. Be prepared to move fairly quickly through very technical material. Successful completion of the certification test will earn a certification issued by Tridium.
