In today’s ever-changing business environment, it is essential to keep pace with advances in complex technologies and products. Education and certification can help accomplish this goal, as well as provide an objective way to measure performance for a given job at a defined skill level. Like a professional license, certification instills confidence through reliable evidence of a critical set of knowledge and skills. Acquired fluency and expertise in any field saves valuable time and money, and ensures a higher level of customer service and satisfaction.
An effective certification program must have a solid, educational focus as its core. The program must promote the development of advanced knowledge, skills, and performance, using industry-respected best practices as a guideline.
Successful completion of a certification program demonstrates your commitment to ongoing education and continuous improvement. It shows customers, peers and colleagues that you have achieved a level of industry knowledge that is purposeful and actionable.
Certification Process
Begin by choosing the certification track you wish to pursue and familiarizing yourself with the roadmap for that track. Courses for each track may comprise a combination of online and instruction-led courses, as well as a proctored exam depending on the certification. The online portions can be taken on any Internet-enabled PC (Extron's E-training is currently not available for Macintosh® operating systems). Proctored exams are currently conducted at Extron's world-class training facilities in Anaheim, California, Raleigh, North Carolina, or during Extron Institutes throughout the United States.
Extron's certification exams are designed to reflect real-world scenarios by duplicating critical tasks required for jobs based upon skill levels and the frequency of each task performed as well as validating your A/V technology expertise. In addition, by keeping abreast of new and developing A/V technologies, Extron certification exams remain relevant to evolving real-world A/V environments.
Each certification listing gives a brief description of the certification, requirements, and links to online preparation materials. Prerequisites specify minimum experience required prior to taking training or certification exams.
