FAQs - Everything you need to know about the Member of Excellence programme

How long does Member of Excellence status last for?

Member of Excellence status is held for 3 years, provided there is no break in your CEDIA membership. You will be required to resubmit all documentation when your 3-year period ends. The status is renewed annually in line with your membership.

Can multiple locations of my company qualify?

The Member of Excellence status is only applicable to one location unless additional locations independently meet all programme requirements. Each location must submit separate documentation and qualify on its own merit.

How many certifications do I need?

You need a minimum of two valid CEDIA certifications. This can be a combination of different certifications, and they can be held collectively by your employed staff members. At least two valid certifications must be maintained by your team.

What counts as Design Documentation?

Design documentation includes three categories: Architectural Drawings (floor plans, reflected ceiling plans), Project Management Documentation (scope of work, proposals, contracts, commissioning documents, client education procedures), and System Design and Engineering Documents (full-system block diagrams, equipment rack drawings, as-built drawings). You must provide evidence from all three categories.

Do I need to meet all the 'plus one' requirements?

No, you only need to meet ONE of the additional requirements listed under 'Plus: One of the Following.' This includes options like CEDIA certifications, being a CEDIA Awards finalist, or holding an active volunteer role. Choose the option that best fits your company's strengths.
