What are HTI+ and CEDIA Certifications?
Both the HTI+ and CEDIA Installer Level I certification tracks provide a comprehensive and complete launching pad for a professional desiring to enter the automated or connected home industry.
CEDIA Installer Level I certification focuses in depth on audio/video along with the fundamentals of wire and cable, connectors, installation and safety practices.
The CEDIA exam assumes the candidate is somewhat above the entry level job status.
The CompTIA HTI+ certification covers structured wiring and computer networking technologies and protocols, including wireless, in detail and gives the fundamentals of wire and cable and all the subsystems in the home.
The basics of audio/video, lighting, telecommunications, heating, air conditioning and control (HVAC), water systems, security, surveillance and home access systems are covered in the HTI+ exams.
The HTI+ exams assume the candidate has at least 6 months of hands-on experience on the job.
The emergence of Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA) Home Technology Integrator+ (HTI+) certification and the Custom Electronic Design and Installation Association (CEDIA) Installer I certification are clear indications that the home automation market is expanding.
Certification Benefits:
- A proof of professional skill achievement and knowledge
