Free IPVM Info+ Subscriptions For The Unemployed
Published Jul 12, 2022 21:09 PM
PUBLIC - This article does not require an IPVM subscription. Feel free to share.
IPVM is giving 3-month free Info+ subscriptions (regular price $99) for the unemployed.
To get it, just contact us, your request will be confidential. If you do not have an IPVM subscription, we will create a new one free for 3 months. If you do have a subscription, we will add 3 months free.
This has been a long-term informal, unpublic policy but given the circumstances currently, we wanted to make it official.
Use IPVM To Learn And Show Off
IPVM is the best way for video surveillance and access control professionals to learn about technology, products, trends, and the business. If you have downtime, use IPVM's 6,000+ reports, 900+ tests, and 196 tutorials, to improve your skills.
Ask questions in our discussion group and show off your skills so that you can build your brand. With 15,000+ subscribers including a who's who of the industry, there is no better public place to demonstrate your expertise.
Helping
Helping is the right thing to do. IPVM started 12 years ago in the 2008 recession so we know how it is when things are bad. Hopefully, we can now help others.
Benefits IPVM Too
We are not claiming this is purely altruistic. We do believe that if we help people here, when things get better (and they will), many people we helped here will remember this and become paying subscribers, recommend us to others, etc.
Just Email Us Confidentially
Just email contact us (or email info@ipvm.com), confirm you are unemployed and we will confidentially send you a 3-month free subscription.
And, of course, subscribers if you have any friends or colleagues impacted, let them know or contact us and we will help get them set up free.

Apr 02, 2020It would be really good if you could make the training courses free for the unemployed, get them skilled up for when the market improves.

Apr 02, 2020YES. Good public service and incidentally good marketing. I agree that the course should be free for the unemployed. I am grateful to retain my employment but a bridge for those who find themselves unemployed helps us all in the long run.

Apr 02, 2020Regarding free courses - courses take time for an IPVM member to speak with every student (on-demand), answer questions by email and for grading and feedback (all0. I am not opposed to incurring the cost but right now, we are super busy with so much to cover around all the coronavirus issues so I am trying not to overextend ourselves. I think people should be able to get a lot out of all the included resources - 6,000+ reports, 800+ tests, etc.

Apr 03, 2020John and IPVM team. This is incredibly gracious during these unprecedented times! With so much uncertainty, this is a great opportunity to learn from your reports as you stated and brush up on your skills.
I put a video on our home page about how we’re giving back. For those of us in a position to give back, I challenge all of you! This is an opportunity to help others. As we come out the other side we will all be stronger for it!
My thoughts and prayers are with all of us!
Thank you again John!

Apr 03, 2020John, Have you considered a tab or spot on the page where companies can post employment opportunities? The IPVM membership represents a huge talent pool and could be a great place to connect people with companies. I would say that most companies like mine wouldn't even mind if there was a small posting fee associated with this service. Thoughts?

Apr 04, 2020Yet another reason I subscribe and pay for IPVM's services. I can vouch that John indeed gave me a few months free when I was unemployed and trying to start my own small business. He did this without me even asking after I posted a comment about my situation. Luckily for me, I gained employment at a big educational institute and was glad to start paying for services again. Thanks again John. My heart and prayers go out to those impacted by this situation.

Jul 13, 2022Note: we've updated this post for 2022, especially in light of increased layoffs.
Now that we have Info+ and Research, the free 3 months with be for Info+.
People still regularly reach out to us about this and we are happy to help.

Jul 14, 2022John, where are increased layoffs coming from in our industry? Seems most folks are hiring. Was there a recent massive layoff I didn't read about?
