CEDIA training will restart in-person with attendees wearing PPE. In-person CEDIA training will restart at the association’s Fishers, Ind., headquarters beginning in March. The association has been providing only remote virtual training since the onset of the pandemic in early 2020. The live training will be for the newly revamped certifications announced by the association earlier this year.
The first CEDIA training course held in person will be the CEDIA Cabling and Infrastructure Technician (CIT) School from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on March 10-12, 2021. The course is actually hybrid, with some of the instruction taking place remotely, prior to the hands-on training. Registrants to the course get access to CEDIA’s CIT Pathway, a newly developed online learning management system (LMS) with 23 hours of technical education.
The online portion of the CIT course’s content has a focus on providing the foundational knowledge necessary to begin working as a technician installing cabling and infrastructure to support integrated communications and entertainment systems. Upon completion of the online prerequisite, registrants will then attend one of CEDIA’s CIT workshops.
The in-person portion of this course’s content is taught by CEDIA certified subject matter experts to support and expand upon the vast technical knowledge from the LMS. This three-day workshop involves comprehensive hands-on lab activities that are designed to accurately simulate on-the-job tasks in a risk-free environment.
The second in-person training is the Integrated Systems Technician (IST) School course held 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on March 15-19, 2021.
