CEDIA University to Take Education and Certification Programs to Eight Cities in North America Throughout 2006

Smaller classes and discounted rates make it easier than ever for residential electronics systems contractors to gain credibility and increase profits

January 30, 2006, Indianapolis, Ind. – When homeowners and builders have a choice between a contractor that has received reputable training and certification and one that has not, the choice is clear. Companies that make an investment in the education of their employees earn high returns in the form of credibility and increased profits.

CEDIA University is much more than the path to displaying the CEDIA-Certified logo on your proposals and installation vehicles. The high-quality courses are designed and taught by the most experienced and successful professionals in the residential electronics systems industry. CEDIA University turns new employees into savvy professionals and prepares your company to compete for the high-dollar, high profile business in your area.

Now, with CU On the Road, CEDIA is bringing its quality education programs to eight different cities throughout North America. The class sizes will be even smaller than usual and attendees have access to four classes over four days for just $200, which is a savings of up to $150. The format of these events will focus on concentrated areas of CEDIA University’s five curricula. Certification reviews and exams, seminars, and full-day workshops will be offered as well.
