CIE-Group is already well recognised for its provision for AV training, not least its support for the HowtoAV online training channel, and the two organisations will now jointly be delivering the HDBaseT Installer Expert Program at locations across the country. The first dates are already announced with events taking place in London, Leeds and Nottingham during April 2016 with more to follow throughout the year.
The HDBaseT Installer Expert Program was launched by the Alliance in 2014 and almost 2000 delegates throughout the world have completed the course. Almost 4000 AV installers have registered at the Alliance's Installer Zone,
The courses cover HDBaseT technology principles, installation advice and best practices, product certification and interoperability, and include hands-on tutorial and comprehensive demonstrations.
Chris Edwards of CIE-Group says, "Experience has taught us that these days when people take time out of their working week to come along to a training course it needs to deliver quality and value. What I can say is that the HDBaseT Expert Program is the best course of its type out there. We're planning to roll-out these courses across the year and I'd urge people to sign up as soon as possible to secure their free place."
Micha Risling, chair of the HDBaseT Alliance's marketing committee added, "CIE-Group has already established itself as one of the leading HDBaseT training providers in the UK, and we're delighted to be partnering with them. The Expert Program is the perfect introduction to HDBaseT and anyone attending is going to learn a great deal that is useful out in the field."
These free academies will provide all the core knowledge required to confidently specify and install both commercial and residential multi-room AV systems using standard HDMI and the latest HDBaseT 5Play converged signal technologies.
2016 Training Dates for HDBaseT Expert Installer Program: 19 April - Nottingham Hilton Double Tree Hotel; 20 April - Farnborough Village Hotel; 21 April - Leeds Village Hotel. Registration is via https://www.cie-group.com/hdbaset
