Niagara4 Level I Foundations Certification Training
A note about Niagara5. When we see the official release of Niagara5, expected 4th quarter of 2026 or first quarter of 2027, M.O.V. Training Services will be transitioning as fast as possible to use Niagara5 in our training classes. Any class listed here as Niagara4 could then potentially end up using Niagara5. Watch the schedule for updates
❯ Design, Engineer, and Program Projects using the Niagara4 Framework
4 days of classroom training with hands-on lab exercises, descriptive presentations and lectures, and the certification test. Students in this class will learn the basics of creating a Niagara4 Station, including creating and editing schedules, configuring alarms, collecting and viewing history data (trending), met-data tagging, and network integrations. This is a very intensive training class with very little down time. Be prepared to move fairly quickly through very technical material.
Looking for something a little less intense? The Niagara4 Operator Training is a great pre-course for people with weak computer skills or no Niagara4 knowledge. Click here for more information.
Successful completion of the certification test will earn a certification issued by Tridium.

PLEASE NOTE: The certification training classes offered by M.O.V. Training Services are fast paced, intensive training classes on a sophisticated software program. These classes ARE NOT classes on how to use Microsoft Windows. Students who register for these classes are expected to have at least basic skills on a Windows 10 or newer computer (note, Windows 10 is used on the computers you will use in the classroom). If you don't know the difference between a right and left mouse click, these classes are not for you. You are informed here that the class WILL NOT slow down to accommodate students who can't navigate file paths or perform other basic Windows computer functions. No refund of tuition will be made to students who don't heed this information.
