CEDIA has announced a joint agreement with the KNX Association in order to develop closer collaboration on training and initiatives for technology integrators.

Through the agreement, KNX has appointed CEDIA as an official training centre, which allows members to attend KNX’s basic training course at CEDIA’s training facility in St Neots, United Kingdom.

The basic training course explores the principles of the KNX protocol and includes both theoretical learning, and hands-on programming exercises to build the attendees’ understanding of and confidence with the KNX system configuration tool, ETS.

KNX president Franz Kammerl commented: “Training has always been a key factor for success for us.”

“The cooperation between CEDIA and KNX will redefine the availability and impact of training for AV solutions and smart homes. Thanks to the KNX certification scheme for training centres, CEDIA has the possibility to further extend its training portfolio, addressing a completely new type of professional. We will support CEDIA in providing this new training opportunity to its members in various countries, starting with the UK.”

CEDIA will be hosting the KNX Basic course on weeks commencing 21 May and 24 September 2018.
