Tavcom Training is celebrating its 25-year anniversary with the opening of a state-of-the-art training centre of excellence. Developed in partnership with CrossConnect Training, the centre in Shipley, West Yorkshire is ideally located to meet all the training needs of the many security professionals in the North of England.

With two world-class teaching facilities in the UK (Hampshire and West Yorkshire) and a growing portfolio of bitesize and online interactive courses, Tavcom is making it easier for security professionals at all levels, to access its award-winning and internationally recognised security systems training courses.

Managing Director of the Linx International Group, David Gill, states: ?This significant investment and expansion of Tavcom is in response to unprecedented demand for our accredited courses, by installers the length and breadth of England.?
