Niagara4 Level I Certification Training

❯ Design, Engineer, and Program Projects using the Niagara4 Framework

4 days of classroom training with hands-on lab exercises, descriptive presentations and lectures, and the certification test. Students in this class will learn the basics of creating a Niagara4 Station, including creating and editing schedules, configuring alarms, collecting and viewing history data (trending), met-data tagging, and network integrations. This is a very intensive training class with very little down time. Be prepared to move fairly quickly through very technical material.

Looking for something a little less intense? The Niagara4 Operator Training is a great pre-course for people with weak computer skills or no Niagara4 knowledge. Click here for more information. 

Successful completion of the certification test will earn a certification issued by Tridium.
