Why this course?
Professional Training for Facility Managers, Building Engineers, Construction Professionals, and Civil Engineers
In modern building projects—whether it’s a commercial tower, hospital, university campus, or residential complex—Access Control Systems (ACS) have become an essential part of building safety, functionality, and management. They are no longer just about locking and unlocking doors; they are about managing people flow, protecting assets, and integrating security with building operations.
This course, “Access Control System – Engineering Course,” has been specially designed for professionals working in building construction, maintenance, and facility management. It provides a step-by-step understanding of access control systems—from conceptual design to installation, integration, and operation.
Learners will gain deep practical insights into how an ACS is planned and executed within a building project, how it interfaces with other systems like electrical, fire alarm, and HVAC, and how it’s maintained throughout its life cycle.
The course blends engineering fundamentals with real-site practices, making it ideal for civil engineers, facility managers, project coordinators, and MEP professionals involved in new constructions or facility upgrades.
Access control is not just a part of security—it’s part of building operations. In large commercial or institutional projects, hundreds or even thousands of users move daily through restricted zones. A well-designed and well-maintained access control system ensures:
Smooth and authorized movement of personnel.
Enhanced safety by preventing unauthorized entry.
Integration with emergency systems for safe evacuation.
Centralized monitoring for efficient facility management.
For civil and building engineers, understanding ACS is now essential. It’s not only about electrical connections but also about coordination with architectural layouts, fire safety provisions, and mechanical systems. This course makes that link clear.
The training program is structured into 10 comprehensive modules, each containing 3 submodules, progressing logically from basic understanding to advanced site applications.
Every building’s security begins with understanding the fundamentals. This module explains how access control works, its objectives, and why it is considered the “first layer of building security.”
You will learn about:
The concept of physical and logical access control systems.
Difference between standalone and networked systems.
The role of access control in modern construction and facility management.
By the end of this module, learners will understand how ACS fits into the overall design and operation of a building.
In this module, you’ll dive into the heart of the system—the components that make access control work.
You will learn about:
Controllers and readers: The brain and eyes of the system.
Locking devices: How electric and magnetic locks are selected and installed.
Credentials: Different types such as RFID cards, key fobs, and biometric identifiers.
Understanding how each device communicates and functions allows engineers to plan layouts and wiring routes effectively during the construction stage.
Access control design starts at the planning table, not after construction.
This module helps you:
Conduct site surveys and identify risk zones.
Determine access points and control zones within the building.
Prepare design drawings and wiring schematics aligned with the architectural layout.
You’ll also learn how to coordinate with civil and electrical teams to ensure proper door frames, conduits, and space allocations are available during construction.
No access control system can function without proper electrical planning.
This module focuses on the electrical engineering side:
Power supply sizing and backup systems.
Cable routing, types, and termination practices.
Coordination with other services such as fire alarm and emergency power systems.
By the end, participants will understand how poor cabling or wrong wire selection can affect system reliability and how to prevent such issues at the site level.
Access control systems rarely operate alone. They are part of a larger ecosystem.
In this module, you’ll understand how ACS connects and interacts with:
CCTV systems for visual verification of access points.
Fire alarm systems to enable automatic unlocking during emergencies.
HVAC and Building Management Systems (BMS) for central monitoring.
Through real building examples, this module explains how multiple systems work in synchronization to create a safe, smart, and efficient building environment.
Here, the course shifts from design to real-world implementation.
You’ll learn step-by-step installation procedures:
Site preparation and mounting of readers, locks, and controllers.
Cabling and labeling methods to maintain clarity in system routing.
Commissioning steps including device configuration, functional testing, and troubleshooting.
This module also discusses common site-level challenges such as voltage drops, cable interference, or door frame misalignment and how to resolve them.
Once the system is live, operation and maintenance become key responsibilities of facility managers and engineers.
This module teaches:
How security and facility teams monitor door activities and alarms.
Maintenance schedules for periodic system checks and cleaning.
How to record logs and prepare maintenance reports.
Learners will gain the knowledge to maintain system uptime, reduce faults, and ensure that the access control remains reliable throughout its lifespan.
Access control is as much about policy as it is about engineering.
This module deals with:
Setting access levels and permissions for various user groups.
Managing credential databases and time-based restrictions.
Generating reports, managing audit trails, and ensuring data integrity.
Facility managers will find this especially useful, as it helps in maintaining operational control and ensuring compliance with organizational security policies.
Engineering without compliance is incomplete.
This module explains international and local standards that govern access control systems, such as:
NFPA and UL standards for fire and electrical safety.
ISO and IEC guidelines for installation and operation.
Egress and fire door regulations to ensure occupant safety.
Participants will learn how to document installations, perform acceptance testing, and maintain compliance certificates for audit and inspection purposes.
This final module brings everything together with real-world project examples.
It presents:
Practical case studies from commercial towers, hospitals, and educational institutions.
Common on-site issues such as faulty wiring, mismatched door hardware, or integration failures—and how they were solved.
Lessons learned from coordination among civil, electrical, and facility teams.
This closing module helps learners connect theory with practical experience, ensuring they are ready to handle on-site conditions confidently.
This course is designed for:
Civil engineers and construction professionals involved in building projects.
Facility and building maintenance managers responsible for day-to-day operation.
Project engineers and site coordinators managing MEP or building services.
Security and safety professionals looking to understand ACS integration in construction.
No prior experience in electronic security is required. The course builds knowledge progressively from the basics to advanced applications.
After completing this course, participants will be able to:
Plan and design access control layouts for different building types.
Understand and coordinate the electrical and cabling requirements.
Supervise installation and commissioning at construction sites effectively.
