Tired of the Same Old BASA / FASA Training

It's all about Knowledge, Presentation, and Delivery... After collage Steve Dale began his Fire and Security Alarm carrier from the ground floor up starting as a Service Technician, then becoming the Service Manager, also worked as a Salesman and was awarded salesman "Rookie of the Year", then an Operations Manager, Branch Manager and Vice President.  Steve began his own alarm business in 1994 and subsequently owned and operated three successful residential/commercial security, fire and medical alert businesses before he sold them.  Five years ago Steve began Power Learning System, Inc. where he wanted to create a unique education experience for industry training.
 

The cost per student is = $265.00
