Target Audience

The target audience includes security and surveillance professionals who have the direct responsibility to design Milestone surveillance systems, as well as technical sales professionals who want to better understand and position the Milestone Advanced platform to their customers.

This training workshop is not required prior to taking the Milestone Certified Design Engineer (MCDE) online certification assessment but is recommended as preparation. For learners looking to earn the MCDE online assessment after attending class, we recommend first reviewing the MCDE Study Guide, as it provides insight into the knowledge and skills required and how to best prepare for the certification assessment.
