The certification is open to security professionals who want to validate their expertise and knowledge in IP video surveillance. It’s also now a requirement to achieve and maintain Solution Partner status in the Axis Channel Partner Program.
The candidates had to pass a 70-question exam, designed to test their skills as system designers and technical sales professionals. The exam measures knowledge of Axis’ network video portfolio as well as the latest network video technologies, solutions and Best Practice design and implementation techniques.
Greg Innes, technical manager at the NW Systems Group Limited, said: “The Axis network video exam, which is part of the Axis Certification Program, has assisted in my professional development and benefits customers of NW Systems Group Limited. It has expanded my knowledge of the latest network video technologies, solutions and design. Also, being one of the very first people to take the exam, it gives me valuable knowledge to provide the very best service to our customers when planning and implementing their systems.”
Other successful candidates included James Drinkwater (also from NW Systems Group Limited), Jarod Booth from Anixter, Ray Pugh (from Dimension Data), Robert Jarred from Expedite and Miles Davies from Kent CCTV & Data.
Davies commented: “I’m very glad to be a part of an expert certification program to show our skills in the IPCCTV industry.”
