Daisy has partnered with CEDIA (Custom Electronics Design and Installation Association) to provide Daisy technicians with access to licensed CEDIA content, coursework, training and certification. All materials and instruction are available to technicians via any desktop or mobile device via Daisy’s Learning Management System (LMS), called Pathways.

Daisy says team members will receive career-building, mobile, optimized instruction without being tied to a desk, a perk for technicians who are commonly out in the field. At the same time, Daisy says partner companies are able to invest in the future of everyone on their team, not just a select few, which gives their businesses and Daisy a “distinct competitive edge.”

With CEDIA’s partnership, Daisy says it will initially offer training programs for technicians employed at each Daisy branch location, as well as further support by covering fees associated with gaining certifications. Quarterly webinars and in-person trainings will be held to help technicians prepare for certification testing. The Pathways LMS module will evolve to also include standardized training and certification for other professions within the systems integration industry, including sales, finance, management and more.

Daisy says it plans to complement the CEDIA-related content and course with direct access via Pathways to manufacturer-specific training. Daisy Pathways, which has been available since May of 2024, also includes courses to help partners learn and advance in customer service, marketing, sales, leadership, project management, team and culture and other essential roles and career paths. New content and courses are added monthly.

According to the company, the availability of CEDIA training, education and certification to Daisy team members via Pathways follows Daisy’s recent partnership with PrepTECH, a systems integration-focused staffing company. Together, Daisy and PrepTECH launched a comprehensive recruitment and training program to bring new entry-level talent into the field and provide a clear path for career advancement. Daisy says the partnership with CEDIA signifies another step in Daisy’s commitment to “fostering professional growth and excellence in the systems integration industry.”
