As a CTS RU provider, Samsung continues empowering its partners with the accreditation and product knowledge in the Audio-Visual industry.
Adrienne Knick, Senior Director of Certification, AVIXA, comments: “The CTS program has been the leading AV professional credential for more than 30 years, and today there are over 13,000 CTS holders around the world. We are proud of education providers like Samsung who are committed to providing education resources so AV professionals can further their expertise.”
Carlos Jose Verez Sola, Head of Technical Consulting from Samsung European Display Organisation, says: “We are very proud to be a CTS Renewal Unit Provider. Our focus is on supporting the AV industry with great products and services as well as committing to upskill those on the frontline of AV installation”.
There are three CTS credentials: general (CTS), design (CTS-D), and installation (CTS-I). To obtain approval, RU programs must feature experienced instructors with clear evidence of qualifications in the session topic. The class must contain at least one relevant learning objective or industry-related purpose; relate to a specific exam topic area and exam level and conclude with an assessment tool to demonstrate participants have grasped the objectives. These criteria are vigorously reviewed by AVIXA’s Certification Renewal Unit Committee.
