For those interested in KNX training, the new KNX Hybrid Basic Training from CEDIA and Ivory Egg offers an easier way for you to get certified, with less time out of your business. The KNX Hybrid Basic Training is affordable and designed to increase accessibility by halving the amount of time required off-site. There is no compromise on quality though, as the training is still approved by the KNX Association.

The KNX Basic Certification is ideal for anyone seeking to learn more about the KNX standard and its various applications. This is the most solid foundation you can get for your business when it comes to KNX.

The six self-paced modules, completed online via the dedicated CEDIA portal, are key. You can complete what would normally be two classroom days in your own time, at your own pace, in a location to suit you. Less time off site means less burden is placed on you being out of your business and less cost is incurred.

This is followed up with a two-day practical session and exam at the Ivory Egg HQ, where you’ll also have the opportunity to speak to the experts about any upcoming projects, explore the showroom and collect resources to continue your KNX journey.

Course participants will gain the understanding and skills to work on KNX-based equipment and become a basic level accredited KNX building automation technician. To attain certification, the participant must pass a local practical exam and an online theory exam, hosted by the KNX association in Brussels.

Please note that the online modules must be completed prior to attending the in-person training. In-person training is available at various locations to suit registrants. Upon successful completion of both theory and practical certification exams, you will be registered as a KNX Certified Partner.

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

The self-paced modules will cover the history of KNX, how to design the KNX Topology to ensure reliable systems, installation of the system and how KNX bus devices operate. You’ll arrive fully prepared for the 2-day practical and assessment.

While on site, you’ll cover how to use ETS to program KNX using lighting and shading examples, how to run diagnostics with ETS, and finish with the Theory and Practical Certification exams.
