Paxton Solo training available to security installers

Following the launch of Solo, Paxton’s brand-new access control system, the security manufacturer is rolling out dedicated Solo training sessions across South Africa to support security installers working with the system.

As part of the launch campaign, Paxton is giving away 10 000 one-door starter kits to installation companies. Any company that has not yet received a kit will be able to take one away at the end of their training session.

Solo is Paxton’s new phone-based, cloud-hosted access control technology, in which the phone is both the system and the key. Installers use a smartphone to create and manage the system directly through the Paxton Solo app. System users then use the same app on their own phones to access their premises. No on-site data network is required, making installation simple and infrastructure-free.

The free Solo training course is delivered by Paxton’s experts in partnership with their distribution partners Regal Security and Reditron. The course includes demonstrations and hands-on exercises covering system setup, configuration, user management, and commissioning. Installers will also learn how Solo differs from traditional access control systems.

Steve Woodbridge, global training manager at Paxton, said, “Solo training is a two-hour, hands-on session designed to give installers practical experience with the system. It focuses on how Solo works, where it fits, and how to install it, with real-world use cases, helping installers understand the system before they quote jobs and install it on customer sites.’’

“The training is also about giving installers an opportunity to discuss potential Solo projects, as well as tips and tricks to speed up even the simplest system setup, so they can deliver Solo effectively from day one, and understand how the system can be positioned alongside existing Paxton solutions.”

Being cloud-hosted and managed through the Paxton Solo app, and affordable, Solo supports flexible ways for installers to structure their offerings for customers. It enables them to build ongoing service relationships, creating limitless opportunities for recurring revenue, depending on how they choose to deliver and support a Solo system.

Training across Paxton systems

Paxton’s training options are designed to support installers across its full product range, with Solo forming the latest addition to the security manufacturer’s hands-on workshop sessions. Alongside Solo Training, installers can also access:

● Net2 Virtual Training

● Paxton10 Virtual Training

Each course has been recently updated for 2026. Woodbridge concludes, “This year, we have refined our training approach to bring greater clarity to the options available across our product range. The course content on all systems is more flexible and relevant to each trainee than ever before, ensuring they get more practical time with the systems and build confidence to deliver solutions effectively on site.”
