Fike Corporation and Fike Video Analytics Corporation both require each distributor to maintain factory-trained personnel on staff for each type of system they plan to design, sell, install and maintain. Registration information is available under Login > Training. If you have not already registered for access to Fike Training, please do so as soon as possible at External Partner Training.

Recertification 
Persons that attend our training schools and pass their examination(s) will obtain their certification for two years. Prior to the expiration of the certification, you will need to log into Fike Training, purchase and successfully complete a recertification course. All resources required to complete this course can be found on the website. To maintain certification you must recertify for each product certification you hold. Failure to have someone at your company maintain their certification(s) will jeopardize the company’s ability to purchase product or to obtain or renew a software license.
SHP Pro Training 
Online training for the SHP Pro panel is available through Fike Training. This innovative approach to training allows you to save time and expense by learning about this panel using a unique and comprehensive tool to receive your certification. You are not required to come to Blue Springs to become certified on SHP Pro.
