Milestone Technical Configuration Level 1

This three-day instructor-led training introduces students to real-life scenarios that use core features of the Milestone XProtect® Corporate VMS. During this class, students will complete hands-on exercises to install and configure an XProtect Corporate VMS installation. Step-by-step instructions and a professional facilitator will guide students as they configure the XProtect Corporate VMS to meet customer business needs. A final class project allows students to practice and demonstrate their skills in a more independent environment, but with continued support from the facilitator.

Recommended Milestone eLearning

It is strongly recommended that you review eLearning courses prior to taking TC1 in order to be successful with the hands-on exercises and class discussions. These eLearning courses cover fundamental knowledge and skills with cameras, networks, and storage devices.

The TC1 Pre-Class Coursework provides essential knowledge to review before taking the TC1 class. The Integration Technician training track provides valuable information and explores topics from the TC1 class even further. Please see the eLearning Courses section of the Milestone Partner Learning Portal.
