IPVM Launches On-Demand Courses
By: IPVM Team, Published on Mar 24, 2020For nearly a decade, IPVM has been a leader in online live courses. Now, we have added on-demand versions for all courses.
The same course materials (videos, tutorials, quizzes, assignments, exams) are now available for on-demand. Start whenever you want. Take as long as you want or finish as soon as you can.
The price, $299, is the same for both versions. If you are not already an IPVM member, registration also includes 1 month of IPVM membership.
Personal Help / Call / Office Hours
While many online courses leave students to figure out the instruction on their own, we've made personalized help a priority for our on-demand courses. Every on-demand student gets a 20-minute phone call with an IPVM expert to get started and we offer 'office hours' every week to help any student learning the materials.
5 IPVM Courses On-Demand
- Access Control On-Demand Overview

Live Courses Continue
Our live courses continue as always. Plus each time we teach the live course (2 - 3 times a year), we will take the updated course materials teaching breaking events and developments, inserting them into the on-demand course.
Why Now?
Coronavirus has increased the demand for on-demand courses so that companies can take advantage of any downtime or work from home. More broadly, many people want or need to work at a faster or slower pace than our live courses. Our including personal help and office hours to on-demand help ensure that students get personal attention in either version.

This is really important. We have wanted to get our techs on some of the training but the issue is freeing up time during the middle of the day.
This is an absolutely flexible schedule.
Very nice, good job IPVM team!
Would you consider putting together a course (or at least a "101" page) on how to do estimates? My main business is not cameras, but in the interests of diversification and having been presented with a surprise opportunity, I am giving strong consideration to expanding into it.
I just gave a new customer a quote on a job and thought I quoted fairly, and they accepted the quote. Time will tell when we start the install whether I was high or low, but I definitely would appreciate tips and pointers on what to look for when assessing a customer's premises for a job. Up till now I have been doing mostly camera replacements for associates and the occasional new install, but nothing quite this extensive. Thanks!
Thanks. We are excited to be able to offer materials like this.

We will queue up a 'Video Estimation Guide'. We have posts like Bluebeam Revu Security Floorplan Estimation App Test but we need to update a substantial amount of our material, ie: cost guides, etc. Thanks for the suggestion.

Interesting, when you performed the estimate, did you do a line-item 'sticks & bricks' type of number that essentially totals the entire design/labor/materials? Or did you use a general estimate (i.e: 20 cameras * $1,400 per camera = $28,000)?

A saying I hate but is often true: 'He with the lowest quote forgot to include the most stuff'. :(
the timing of this offering is genius.
as integrators above have already mentioned, in times like these with otherwise-busy techs being immobilized, online self-paced learning is one of the few positive things that they can do at this time.
Awesome, I know I asked about this a while back.
The timing of this could not be any better!
I might have missed this, but is there an estimated time to complete each course, for example, the IP Networking course should take you about 8 hours to complete, etc.?
Tony, the classes (videos in this case) are 12 hours. In addition, one will need to study somewhere between 24 and 48 hours, depending on how much one already knows. This is, of course, based on an estimate to gain certification. Some people just watch the videos, do some of the quizzes, etc to improve themselves but do not go all the way to study in-depth to pass the exam.
