Premises Cabling
Premises cabling, or structured cabling, is an indoor system designed to carry voice, data, and video signals. Traditionally, cabling has focused on Cat 5 unshielded twisted-pair cable as used in Ethernet networks, but network architectures are changing. As a result, technicians must understand UTP copper, fiber optics, and wireless technologies.

Lead-Safe Renovators Course
This 8-hour course covers regulations, job site preparation, dust containment, and work techniques to minimize lead release, clean-up, and record keeping. To be eligible to work on pre-1978 buildings, EPA rules require renovation contractors to become trained and certified in lead paint abatement methods by December 31. Specifically, EPA's Renovation, Repair, and Painting Final Rule (40 CFR 745) requires that renovations must be performed by certified firms using certified renovators.
