InfoComm Offers New AV Certificate Program
Mar 21, 2010 5:37 PM
InfoComm International is releasing a new certificate program aimed at recognizing those who have demonstrated basic competency in the audiovisual field. The InfoComm-Recognized AV Technologist certificate program allows employers to verify the basic level of entry-level AV personnel, while providing industry newcomers and non-technical personnel a way to showcase what they have learned.
To earn a certificate, AV professionals must score 80 percent or above on a new, online test, which is taken at the desktop, not at a testing center. Content for the test is based entirely on the newly-updated course, Essentials of AV Technology Online. The hour-long test costs $150 for members and $200 for non-members. The fee includes the opportunity to take the online test three times in a 30-day period. Essentials of AV Technology Online costs $99 for members, $150 for non-members. Members can use InfoComm EduBucks to pay for the full cost of the Essentials of AV Technology Online course, but not for the test. To learn more about the program, visit www.infocomm.org/avtech.
