Control4 this month introduced a new Associate Installer online training program to certify entry-level technicians as a first step in their career development in automation installation, programming and design. Control4’s network of independent authorized dealers can leverage this free online Associate Installer Certification curriculum to train employees on basic installation skills utilizing Control4 Composer Express, a mobile configuration and setup tool. Within hours, participants will learn how to install and configure one-room home entertainment systems, as well as assist in the provisioning of lighting devices in larger projects. The goal of the new program is to enable dealers of Control4 products to deploy staff to customers’ homes quickly so they can respond to the growing consumer demand in their local markets.

The new Associate Installer Certification comprises four classes:

• Overview of Solutions
• Infrastructure for Home Automation
• Building Basic Entertainment Solutions
• Controlling Wireless Lighting

The Associate Installer Certification works entirely within Control4’s Composer Express app, and can be completed in as little as three hours. More details here.
