Francis

Francis is an engineer with a master’s degree in civil engineering. That training gives him an engineer’s approach to the job: plan the layout, measure, specify the right materials, then build and test. As lead trainer, he teaches you to work the same way, and to explain your reasoning to a customer.

Francis is also a working installer. He fits and repairs CCTV and security systems on real jobs across Greater Manchester, from home systems to shops and commercial premises. He knows what goes wrong on site, and he shows you how to spot it early.

On the course, the two come together. You learn the thinking behind each skill, then do it yourself: terminating BNC and RJ45 connectors, building a complete system from camera to monitor, and finding the faults Francis plants in your system. Groups are limited to six, so your lead trainer works beside you, explains the reasoning and corrects your technique as you go.

He also teaches how to price a job, write a quote and handle the customer conversation, so you leave ready to earn from the work. For 30 days after the course, you keep direct access to Francis for your first jobs.
