New CEDIA Training and Curriculum Guide
Included are relevant courses for residential CI specialists and newcomers to the industry from electrical contracting, security and other backgrounds.
The guide details the new CEDIA education structure for its EST (Installer) certification programme. The Electronic Systems Technician (EST) initiative is a set of training courses designed to educate technicians of all levels in the sector about the need to know topics of the custom installation industry. The new structure has allowed CEDIA to introduce a new basic certificate, Technician EST1 Boot Camp, as well as bridge the gap to the highest level of EST certification, Technical School and EST2 certification.
The guide then explores CEDIA certification for both installers and designers with the full curriculum for EST2 and EST3 – Advanced Installer, and Designer Level 1 included. It finishes with a look at the trade supplier courses currently CEU accredited that are available for CEDIA certified individuals.
