This one day course focusses on the definition
and scope of the custom integration industry.
By identifying your company type in the market
we can help you to map the key elements of
the trade to the layout of your business and
give you the relevant information to drive your
people and business in the right direction.
This course is day one of the Gateway
certification.
Topics include:
• Industry Introduction
• Jobsite Safety and Pre-Fix Checks
• 1st Fix and 2nd Fix
• Equipment and Components
• AV Terminology
Basic maths, science and engineering skills
are an essential part of any home technology
technician’s toolbox. The ability to understand
the technical workings of a system by applying
scientific calculations is vital for the design
and installation of any home technology
application.
This one-day course starts with the most
basic mathematical and engineering skills and
applies them to the world of residential home
technology.
This one day course provides an overview of
basic audio and video, networking and control
system terminology used within our trade.
Equipping your sales force with this valuable
information will allow them to provide your
customers with the necessary detail they
are looking for from a professional custom
integration company. This course is also ideal
for those new to the industry and looking to
develop their business model.
Sub-systems fundamentals is day two of the
Gateway certification.
Topics include:
• Cinema Basics
• Networking
• Control
• Calibration, Testing and Commissioning
The purpose of this course is to provide a
foundation for understanding IP (Internet
Protocol). It is appropriate for both beginners
and individuals looking to formalise and
increase their IP networking knowledge. With
the vast majority of subsystems now having the
ability to be converged over an IP network, this
is arguably the most important topic to make
sure that you have a solid foundation in.
Topics covered include:
- Understanding the 7 layer OSI Model and how
it relates to networking (essential learning)
- Applying the OSI model to residential network
structure and setup
- Recognising and understanding basic
network hardware
- IP Addressing - using the right addresses for
the right job
- Basic network troubleshooting
By the end of this course, participants should
be able to: explain common network protocols
such as TCP, UDP, IP, DHCP, DNS, and NAT,
understand the functions of a consumer
router in a wired environment and begin basic
troubleshooting in a consumer level IP network.

Repeat service calls cost time and money.
With remote access capability and remote
programming of control systems, these calls
will no longer drain your resources. This course
addresses the available methods of remote
access and their proper usage to improve
your efficiency and customer satisfaction.
Learn to properly configure VPN access, port
forwarding, port translation, and dynamic DNS,
and troubleshoot remote connection issues.
Activities include hands-on NAT, PAT, and VPN
configuration. Before attending this course,
students should have a working knowledge
of IP addressing and subnetting, basic router
configuration and port forwarding, how to
troubleshoot using basic CLI commands, IP
device configuration (change addresses,
gateways, subnets, ports), and WAN/LAN basic
routing principles.
If you’re interested in adding audio, video or
home cinema to your business model or have
tinkered with them in the past, this course is
the ideal way to consolidate your prior skills
and knowledge into a professional approach to
this fundamental part of the CI market.
Aimed at new AV technicians and more
experienced installers from other electronic
industries, this session contains the most
important technical information, basic design
principles and the installation practices
required.
New, prospective and existing members will be introduced to the Association, the benefits of
membership and the evening will provide a forum for ideas and debate. This evening will be a relaxed
affair and a great opportunity to network with your peers.

Heard the buzz about recurring revenue but
aren’t sure what’s involved or perhaps aren’t
comfortable incorporating new and unknown
elements into your business model? Ready to get
started selling service contracts to your clients
but aren’t sure about the steps involved? You’re
not alone. We’re here to help.
This session will present three very different
strategies for recurring revenues and allow
attendees to formulate a solid business strategy
that works for them. If you feel you are the ‘yes’
man within your business then why not take
a look at a different business approach which
enables you to have more confidence in your
sales strategy.
RF distribution offers a wide range of signal
distribution possibilities covering radio and
TV in both analogue and digital formats.
Modern digital TV services mean a single coax
cable can offer more than 100 channels of
entertainment including HD broadcasts.
Many homes already have some coax installed
and this course explains, in detail, how coax can
be used to move signals around the home, how
signals from various sources can be combined
and distributed around the home, and how
installers can ensure robust performance from a
coax network.
In addition, the course covers a number of key
technologies involved in whole-house system
integration through combined control. This
subject opens with IR control and moves on
to RS232 and IP. The course concludes with
exercises in IR learning, combining handsets
into ‘Universal’ remotes and writing robust and
efficient chained commands or ‘macros’.

The technical design of a high performance
home cinema is not a subjective decision.
For every parameter, there is a standard that
should be observed in order to offer a truly
immersive entertainment experience. This
course will examine those standards and give
you an insight into the importance of designing
cinemas using standards based engineering
calculations, rather than subjective guesswork.
The morning will be classroom based where the
instructor will introduce the standards and the
engineering skills necessary to apply them.
The afternoon will be spent working in small
groups applying the knowledge gained in the
morning. During the afternoon workshop, a
number of additional subject matter experts will
be on hand to spend time with individual groups
to help with the design.
By the end of this course, delegates will
understand how applying engineering
standards to cinema design ensures a high
standard of repeatable performance.
This is an exam only and there will not be a
review. Aimed at people who wish to become
CEDIA EST2 (previously called Installer Level 1)
Certified and intended for Member companies
