AV Power Up! – Episode 47: This Show Is Stamped “AV Certified”
Join the Crew: Corey Moss, Christa Bender, Johnny Mota, Stacy Kringlen, Victoria Barela and Deron Pinchback as they welcome their guests:
Bradford Benn (@BradfordBenn) – Vertical Market Manager – Themed Entertainment at HARMAN International
Jeremy Caldera (@jeremy_caldera) – Lead Audiovisual Design Engineer at Zdi
George Fournier (@GeorgeVFournier) – Senior Sales Engineer at FSR Inc
Rich Prevete (@RichardPrevete) – Audio Visual Technician with Compass Group North America
Here it is the first ever “certified” AV Power Up show as the Crew talks industry certifications with the guests, including the CTS Grand Poobah himself Jeremy Caldera, InfoComm’s Certification Steering Committee Chair. We counted a total of six CTS’s on this show – is that a record? Wait Jeremy holds dual certifications. Seven!
We start off the show congratulating Victoria on the recent acquisition of her CTS and well, the show just takes off from there. In fact Christa referred to this as the “beating of the dead horse” episode so let’s just say whatever you wanted to know about industry certifications as well as trainings, check in for the hour.
Bradford brings the usual, well, what Bradford usually brings. George Fournier joins us later on in the podcast talking certifications and scouts. So let’s see – if you want to get AV certifications, you should get your scouting badges first. And then there’s this thing about cookies and popcorn. Yes you have to hear it for yourself.
Rich Prevete? Along with talking CTS and being famous for the AV Power Up “444,” he’s back to deliver the Hot Jobs again. How did he do this time? We believe you really have to stick around till the end to find out.
Yes, this episode is fully legit as it was rubber stamped by Jeremy himself. In fact when you get your CTS certificate, his rubber stamp will be on it too. Victoria is still waiting for the actual autograph on her certificate (we hear it’s worth tons of bitcoin).
Where else can you get your CTS certification and the 444? We have no idea and if you try to search the internet for it remember the www doesn’t matter. Wait Bradford says it does. &$#% we’re confused…
So sit back, plug in, put it in drive and…
