Expertise is essential when selecting a partner for your next AV project. Whether you’re enhancing a conference room, control system, or video wall, the success of the installation depends on the expertise and knowledge of the technicians who work tirelessly to complete the project.
At AV Planners, we prioritize the ongoing education of all our technicians. We collaborate with AVIXA, the leader in AV standards, to help them obtain their Certified Technology Specialist (CTS) certification. This guarantees they have the most current industry knowledge to meet our clients' needs.
But why is it important for technicians to obtain this certification, and how does it benefit you?
Offered by AVIXA, the CTS certification is a globally recognized credential that validates an AV technician's ability to design, install, and manage AV projects to the highest standards. It is the only AV certification accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), ensuring it meets rigorous industry standards for competence and effectiveness.
There are three levels of CTS certification:
CTS certification is not merely for show; it acts as an industry guarantee that your team meets professional standards and showcases high industry knowledge. To obtain certification, you must prepare for and pass exams that assess your understanding of AV principles, system design, and installation techniques. Technicians come away with a thorough knowledge of AV system functionality and performance that can be leveraged to provide seamless system integration.
An improperly installed AV system can result in significant challenges, including connectivity issues and a subpar user experience. Since CTS-certified technicians follow AVIXA standards and best practices, you can feel assured that your new system will be designed for optimal performance and will encounter fewer post-installation issues. They are also trained to troubleshoot problems, ensuring that if any issue arises, it is resolved swiftly and effectively.
CTS certification requires ongoing education to ensure all certified professionals are informed about the latest AV trends and emerging technologies. As technology evolves rapidly, working with a CTS-certified technician ensures that you will be well-versed in the latest cutting-edge innovations and how to integrate them into your AV project.
Moving forward with AV improvements can involve a significant investment, and you want to ensure you’re in the best hands. Partnering with AV Planners gives you confidence that skilled, certified professionals will manage your project and adhere to the highest industry standards.
We take pride in investing in our technicians and their education as CTS-certified professionals, reflecting the impact of the solutions we provide. Regardless of the project, our certified expertise will bring your vision to life.
