    What exactly do you want to gain, do you want to become a Milestone certified installer or just get a basic understanding of CCTV.
    There are some books on amazon which will give you a better understanding of cctv. From there you could do a tavcom course or similar. The last thing you should be doing is going out and buying kit, at least wait until you have a better grip on the subject

    There is a course down in waterford WIT. But they do intruder, Access Control and CCTV. Great setup. Maybe a class size of 20ish. give them a ring for more info.

    If your serious about getting involved in the industry then the course in waterford is worth a look.
    I've only read about it in the trade magazines but they have got some of the manufacturers/developers like milestone to sponsor hardware and software for the course.
    You'll also have the paperwork to show for it
