FLOWER MOUND TX (07.15.22) – Firstech, maker of Compustar and DroneMobile brand products, launched its new national installer training program, “myFirstech Academy”, with sessions on July 11th and 12th at the company’s new Flower Mound TX facility. The training events, for authorized dealers, included two days of intensive instruction at three different skill levels.
“We had a great first training. In the sessions we had attendees from Texas, Washington and even Alaska. While many members of our tech team were present the instruction was primarily conducted by Doug Reed” Justin Lee, Marketing Director related.
Lee continued “Early feedback has been very positive. Brandon Murphy from Audio Source in Wichita Falls TX offered: The trainings were terrific. Our 2 techs who went came back on a new level. Thank you for making it happen Justin!”
The 3 skill levels included: Level 1 – Learn how to install remote start systems and gain a deep understanding of required 12-volt electrical theory, components, and troubleshooting.
Level 2 – Take a deeper dive into Firstech remote start and security solutions, including controllers, RF, telematics, and vehicle integration.
Level 3 – For seasoned installers only. Explore advanced troubleshooting and gain experience with manual-transmission remote start, along with other complex applications.
The students at myFirstech Academy enjoyed a wide variety of learning environments over the two-day period to ensure maximum knowledge retention. The learning environments included bench trainers for understanding fundamentals of electronics, steering columns with ignition switches for start/stop simulation, wire prep and soldering practice stations (no t-taps here, please!), minimum of 3 different vehicles for full installation walkthrough plus Q+A with Firstech technical support members and networking with other industry professionals.
All myFirstech Academy training events will be instructed by members of Firstech’s award-winning technical support team. Tech support manager Wade Beebe shared, “We have crafted our trainings to meet the growing demand for hands-on, step-by-step training on remote start.”
In addition to in-person instruction, myFirstech Academy students also received free access to self-paced virtual learning materials. These materials are made available on the web and the company’s “myFirstech” app for iOS and Android.
