Course Description

All the fundamental knowledge an installer needs to know to sell, install, and support residential telephone systems – from basic concepts to system design, installation, and troubleshooting, this course provides installers, manufacturers, builders, developers, and real estate professionals with the knowledge they need to manage this part of their business.

Students are instructed on the design and installation of systems including advanced wired and wireless phone systems, fax machines, door phones, paging systems, intercom systems, and answering/voicemail systems. This course provides practical information, explaining what installers need to know before working on an installation project.

Expertly written course material and detailed color diagrams make learning how to install telephone systems both efficient and enjoyable. Special In Depth articles provide additional technical information on critical topics, and Project Management Tips coach installers on best practices for working with homeowners or builders, and successfully shepherding projects to completion. An online Glossary provides ready access to definitions of key terms.

The course is divided into eleven sections – each section ends with a quiz, and a comprehensive test at the end of the course allows students to demonstrate their newfound knowledge of residential phone systems.
