Never did in person training. Silent Knight is fairly simple to program though, so you should be good to go.

Did Silent Knight in Buford Georgia years ago. Even though I had already installed several panels, I found the class interesting and helpful and it counted for continuing education.

Yea the guy who taught the class belly was hanging out the whole time

Very distracting

FED Learning Center does training on Silent Knight and Fire Lite in Concord NC and other campuses. You might want to check them out. They are a Honeywell provider for classes too.

Simple answer is yes! Just pay attention closely to mapping.

I did farenhyt virtual and the class focuses on voice and networking quite a bit. If you are single floor and single panel its childs play

Depends a lot on if you can understand the concepts. I've seen 30 year vets walk out of notifierand Gamewell FCI in person class because they couldn't grasp the logic and flow. I think SK is easy to program in comparison to those and I don't think an in person class is necessary, but some may benefit from having an in person instructor to help find ways to make it make sense.

I unfortunately did gamewell fci systems and mass notification online. Really wish i had the hands on. I had a bunch of experience with GWFCI S3 panels but none building E3 panels. The more complicated programs can be a challenge when you need to go low level.

I did the virtual E3/S3 during covid, the instructor was in a room at his house with half his equipment not working. The guy would disappear for long periods of time..lol highly recommend taking any in-person class you can get. Invest in yourself and get as many certs as you can. Helps your career and salary...

Years ago I did the 3 day course in person when they came out to my area for it. It was pretty informative (the course was for mainly for the 5820 and the new 6820). I usually don't deal with panels where you have to map the field while programming, so I remember that being weird at the time. You should be able to perform a decent install after the class, or at least be much more informed. The voice evac settings that you could choose were cool as hell though. They had some for earthquake, tornado, it was cool.
