Following the launch of Solo, Paxton’s brand-new access control system, the security manufacturer is introducing dedicated Solo training sessions nationwide to support security installers who want to adopt the new platform. As part of the launch campaign, Paxton is giving away 10,000 one-door starter kits to installation companies.

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

The free Solo training course takes two hours and is delivered by Paxton’s expert training team at range of locations across the U.S. 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.

“Solo training is a hands-on session designed to give installers practical experience with the system,” said Steve Woodbridge, global training manager, Paxton. “It focuses on how Solo works, where it fits and how it is installed 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.”

In addition to scheduled in person sessions, companies with four or more installers can request on-premises training, and online Solo training options are also available for those who do not have an upcoming session in their area.

Paxton’s training program is designed to support installers across its full product range, with Solo forming the latest addition to the security manufacturers’ hands-on workshop sessions. Alongside Solo training, installers can also access Net2 Installation Training and Paxton10 Installation Training.

Each course has been recently updated for 2026.

“This year, we’ve refined our training approach to bring greater clarity to the options available across our product range,” Woodbridge said. “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.”
