12 | Linear Training

Technical Services is the group within Linear LLC that administers Continuing Education
Unit (CEU) activities, courses, and programs. Technical training ensures the education
and meets the goals of the dealers, distributors, and others who sell the Linear LLC
branded products.

The technical training manager reviews the policies and procedures and ensures they meet accreditation
requirements for CEUs. Linear LLC accredits their training through the National Burglar & Fire Alarm
Association (NBFAA) service of the National Training School. The review process for every program
occurs every two years at a minimum.

Linear will ensure the training provides adequate resources to support a positive learning environment.
Instructors will be available to provide assistance and support to students. When students meet the
requirements for satisfactory completion of the training program, they are issued a certicate that
indicates the title of the program, the name of the instructor, and the number of CEUs for the program.

Linear training is provided by qualied personnel with many years of experience in the eld and
competence in their topic of instruction. They also have knowledge and skill in instructional methods and
learning processes. Feedback is encouraged and collected. Linear offers three types of training
through learnlinear.com

Type 1: Instructor Lead Training—On-Site Training

We have product trainers and a sales management team who travel the U.S. to provide training at
your facility or at a local distributor. This is a more traditional, classroom-style training option.

Type 2: Instructor Lead /Computer-Based Training

A product trainer remotely teaches a course using teleconferences and computer software to present
the material. Since a live instructor is leading the training, these classes are scheduled.

Type 3: Self-Paced Training—Computer-Based

This is similar to taking online college classes. From the convenience of either home or ofce, you can
take classes at your own pace and return to previous sessions should you need to stop mid-class. If
you have any questions, feel free to e-mail at: [e-mail] or call 1.80 0.421.1587
and ask for our training manager.

Technical Support | 13

Linear’s Technical Services Department provides telephone support for our
expanding product line. The group supports nearly 2,000 products in various
types of installations and applications. Application engineers can assist dealers
and installers with their technical questions regarding every Linear product.

The application engineers answer questions regarding equipment installation, programming,
system design, troubleshooting, and inter-system compatibility. Questions could be about radio
controls, security systems, access controls, door operators, gate operators, audio or video
equipment, and accessories. Often, installers simply need fast help with their installation issues
so they can complete the job and continue on to the next iinstallation. Linear’s quality and
professional technical support staff provides that service.

The new extended Technical Services Department telephone service hours (5:00 AM to 4:30
PM Pacic Time) will be of value to nationwide installers and company representatives alike.
