Training that works for you
At Mircom, we’ve flipped the script on training. The new Training Department has redefined what a course should be—and how it’s built—so it’s not just informative, but transformative.
Starting in 2026, every training course—whether you’re working on TX3 intercoms, fire systems, or security setups—is designed with one goal: to make your job easier, faster, and more accurate. We’re not just teaching products—we’re building your confidence, sharpening your troubleshooting skills, and helping you master configuration and programming like a pro.
This isn’t generic training. It’s purpose-built for the field, with your day-to-day and week-to-week challenges in mind. You’ll walk away with tools you can use immediately, insights that stick, and the confidence to tackle any install or service call.
Because when you’re better equipped, you perform better—and the whole business wins.

THE RETURN TO LIVE TRAINING
Hands-On & In-Person
Hands-On & In-Person
Why the Return to Live Training
Virtual training kept learning moving during the pandemic, but it was always a temporary solution. With COVID behind us and industry rhythms restored, Mircom is returning to the format proven most effective: in‑person, hands‑on training with expert facilitators.
Our products require precision and real‑world application; technicians learn best when they can physically interact with panels, modules, software, and troubleshooting scenarios. Hands‑on work simply cannot be replicated through screens.
New Technicians & Newly Onboarded ESDs
We strongly recommend that all new technicians and ESD partners begin with live, in‑class training. As part of updated onboarding standards, all new learners must submit a training request for approval before attending any course.
FX-4000 Training with Integrated Digital Audio 6000 Content
The FX-4000 Training Pathway includes Digital Audio 6000 training as part of the overall program. Participants will receive instruction on Digital Audio 6000 concepts and systems within the FX4000 curriculum, ensuring a comprehensive and unified learning experience.
Live FX-4000 training remains the preferred delivery method, providing the strongest environment for foundational skills building across both FX-4000 and Digital Audio 6000 content.
The FX-4000 Virtual Online Training will return in 2026 and will be reserved for:
- Technicians requiring recertification
- Individuals outside Southern Ontario who face significant travel barriers
Revamped Mircom Training Room
Our Head Office training room has been upgraded with current-generation panels, devices, enhanced workstations, and realistic field‑environment setups. These improvements provide scenario‑based learning, ensuring trainees practice exactly what they will encounter in the field.
Why Attend Live Training?
Benefits for Technicians
- Better Skill Retention — Hands‑on practice leads to deeper learning and confidence.
- Immediate Feedback — In‑class facilitators correct mistakes in real time.
- Stronger Technical Foundations — Learners build true understanding, not just familiarity.
- Collaborative Learning — Questions, discussion, and peer interaction boost comprehension.
Benefits for Companies
- Higher First‑Time Fix Rates — Fewer callbacks and faster installations.
- Reduced Risk — Less chance of misconfiguration or troubleshooting errors.
- Consistent Competency — Standardized learning across all technicians.
- Alignment with Industry Standards — Companies stand out for precision and reliability.
Returning to the Mircom Gold Standard
By re‑establishing live, in‑class training, Mircom is investing in quality, safety, and long‑term success. This shift restores the gold standard of product education — ensuring every technician is confident, capable, and field‑ready.

MEET THE TRAINER
Trainer Spotlight
Paul DreyerRole: Trainer and Learning Consultant
Expertise: Fire Alarm Systems
Paul has been with the company for nearly 12 years, bringing deep technical knowledge and a passion for helping learners succeed.
His favorite part of training? “Noticing the lightbulb turning on when the learner fully understands the content.”
His go-to tip for effective learning: “Practice does not make perfect—perfect practice makes perfect. Learn the basics, practice them honestly, reflect, and repeat.”
One of Paul’s proudest accomplishments was flying to the Hibernia oil platform, 315 km off St. John’s, Newfoundland, to replace a PRO-2000 Fire Alarm System and train department leads on its use.
He also led training for the U.S. State Department on Mircom Networked panels, earning a challenge coin from their department lead.
Outside of work, Paul is an outdoor enthusiast. He spends weekends hiking and camping with his son and enjoys solo camping adventures with minimal gear—always ready for the next challenge.
In 2026, Paul will be launching a new multi-level training initiative designed to strengthen technical expertise across our fire system users and internal teams. This includes structured onboarding for new hires, blending hands-on learning with real-world exercises and exposure. These new programs aim to ensure consistent “field readiness.”
Cristofer Morales Amaya
Role: Technical Trainer & Facilitator
Expertise: Networked Fire Alarm with Digital Audio Integration
Cristofer Morales has been with the company for 6 years, training for the last 2 delivering training in Networked Fire Alarm systems with Digital Audio Integration. His favorite part of training? “Seeing the moment when a concept clicks for someone the ‘aha’ moment when they gain confidence and understand how to work on a system correctly.” His go-to tip for effective learning: “Link new concepts to familiar ones. This approach makes complex ideas easier to grasp and remember.”
One of Cristofer’s proudest accomplishments was becoming a U.S. citizen after a six-year journey that began in 2018—a milestone that reflects perseverance and commitment. Outside of work, Cristofer is an outdoor enthusiast who loves camping, hiking, and spending time in nature.
In 2026 Cristofer will be spearheading a hands-on technical training initiative focused on advanced fire alarm integration and troubleshooting. This program will combine real-world simulations, interactive labs, and scenario-based exercises to strengthen field readiness for both internal teams and external partners. The goal is to ensure technicians can confidently handle complex networked systems and deliver consistent, high-quality service across all installations.
