Extron unveils new certification programme
Published: MEA
WORLD: Extron Electronics has introduced the XTP System Certification programme for A/V system designers and integrators. The programme consists of online and instructor-led training for design and implementation of enterprise-wide digital systems based on Extron’s XTP CrossPoint Systems.
XTP CrossPoint is a signal switching and distribution system for local and remote devices. The manufacturer believes this certification will be an industry-recognised way to demonstrate acquired expertise related to digital A/V applications.
‘Since the introduction of digital A/V technology, there’s been a need for in-depth training and instruction,’ said Casey Hall, vice president of sales and marketing for Extron. ‘The XTP System Certification programme provides a clear pathway for A/V professionals to gain knowledge and experience with Extron digital A/V products, and validates that understanding through testing and certification.’
Once enrolled in the programme, an individual is required to successfully earn a passing score on an online exam for Digital A/V Technologies. Study materials are available online to assist with test preparation. Then, the student attends concentrated instructor-led training and, depending on discipline, sits for one of two final exams: XTP Systems for Technicians - XTP-T or XTP Systems for Design Engineers - XTP-E.
