The Consumer Electronics Association and its TechHome Division will provide certification training programs for electronic systems professionals and technology integrators at the Electronic House Expo (EHX) Fall 2007. The show is next week at the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, Calif.
The certification training programs offered at the EHX Fall 2007 will include the Electronic Systems Professional Alliance's Certified Electronic Systems Technician (ESPA Certified-EST) and the CEA-CompTIA Digital Home Technology Integrator (DHTI+) certification. Both programs target professional installers working with technology in the low-voltage sector including technology integrators, custom installers, security system technicians, cable, satellite and telecommunications installers, electricians and network administrators.
"It's critical to the continued growth of the installed technology industry that installers in the community receive quality training and certification while integrating state of the art housing with custom home technology systems," says Todd Thibodeaux, CEA's Senior Vice President of Industry Relations and member of the ESPA Board. "CEA and its partners look forward to working with EHX to ensure that custom installers and integrators are provided with the best training available."
ESPA Certified-EST is an entry-level, gateway training and certification program developed by the Electronic Systems Professional Alliance, which is a collaboration between CEA, the National Systems Contractors Association and the Custom Electronics Design and Installation Association. The Certified-EST program will cover both residential and commercial installations, focusing primarily on low-voltage systems.
The CEA-CompTIA DHTI+ certification is a collaboration between CEA and the Computing Technology Industry Association. DHTI+ is an advanced-level certification, layered on top of the ESPA Certified-EST entry-level certification; however Certified-EST is not a prerequisite. DHTI+ training was developed and is offered by CEA training partner, Bedrock Learning.
