Channel Partner Certification Training

The OnSSI Channel Partner Certification program has been recently updated and revamped to include the newest features of the Ocularis Platform. The duration of the courses has been lengthened to provide more time for valuable hands-on training. Depending on the focus of your clientele, you may be interested in one, the other, or both.

 

Certification applied to individual participants

Our certification program has changed. Starting September 1, 2010 OnSSI certification will apply to the individual. This enables people to take their certification with them from employer to employer. Employers benefit by hiring individuals that have already been certified. 

 

Ocularis 101

This certification provides our Channel Partners with the knowledge and skills to be able to install and support Ocularis. It includes full hands on installation and configuration of Ocularis Base, Ocularis Administrator and our award winning Ocularis Client.

The OnSSI Event Coordinator, expanded Generic Events labs, Mapping, automated events and video synopsis are just a few topics new to the course. This is a three day course. Prerequisites for this course include a full working knowledge of computers and IP video basics.
