CEDIA UK Expo Seminars on Track for Success (13/4/2006)

In its newly published Expo Seminar Guide, CEDIA (the Custom Electronic Design and Installation Association) has unveiled details of its centrepiece education and training programme, taking place at this year's CEDIA Expo (19th - 22nd June 2006, ExCeL London).

The new and expanded Expo Seminar Guide features full course descriptions and timings for the extensive range of seminars, workshops and forums taking place at CEDIA Expo. It will allow visitors to plan their visit to Expo well in advance, and provides all the information they need to reserve course places at the earliest possible opportunity. CEDIA has introduced 24 brand new courses, updated a further 20 existing courses and, through restructuring the programme, can now offer an 82% increase in hours of training over what was offered last year.

New courses will explore Digital Rights Management, High Definition and Marine Installations amongst others. CEDIA has also introduced a series of introductory half day and one day workshops, including an intensive one day Project Management Workshop and a Media Center Workshop. Other courses have been completely revised, such as, the two day Home Cinema Workshop and IP Based Audio and Video Distribution (one of last year's most popular courses). Another highlight will be revised courses on new technologies and the impact these are likely to have on the custom installation sector - in one of these Steve Moore will be delivering his own unique and insightful vision of where our industry is going. Installer Level 2 certification will be available at this year's Expo for the very first time outside of the US. Extensive manufacturer product training will also be on offer - full details can be found on the Expo website.

"Through the Expo seminar programme, CEDIA is reinforcing its commitment to education and its determination to maintain high standards in the residential custom installation industry" said CEDIA UK's Education Chair, Steve Martin. "Courses will once again follow a career-track approach covering installers, designers, customer relations managers, project managers and business owners. CEDIA believes that this allows employers to offer their employees a proper career structure which is so important in this rapidly increasing industry."
