Here’s a breakdown of what AlarmTech’s course includes:
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Course Format | It’s delivered via presentations containing text, graphics, videos, and interactive activities (similar to what an instructor-led class would present). |
| Time Requirement / Tracking | You must spend 14 hours interacting with the course materials (cannot skip or fast forward through). |
| Quizzes / Knowledge Checks | Each module ends with a quiz or checkpoint to verify comprehension. |
| Final Assessment / Exam | At the end, there is a comprehensive exam you must pass (usually a 75% or higher score). |
| Identity Verification | You’ll need to provide proof of identity (e.g. government photo ID) and possibly use a webcam / microphone for verification. |
| Badge / ID Card Request | After passing, you submit a request to get your FASA / BASA ID card. |
