Course instructors for electronic security in-service training should not be required to obtain DCJS instructor certification.  The current requirement severely limits our opportunity to obtain training from manufacturers' reps, distributors' experts, and even our own in-house experts.  The current in-service training for ES sales and techs is virtually meaningless and a waste of our time and money.  Our industry is constantly innovating and changing, and it would be in the best interest of the customer for us to be current on new, emerging technology and "best practices" for configuring and servicing products and integrated systems.  Competition in the marketplace drives the need for training, not DCJS requirements.  Let that training be effective and meaningful by removing the requirement for instructor certification from qualified instructors.
