This pathway is intended for technicians wishing to progress to the next level to develop skills for project management, project documentation and the knowledge to add sub systems, such as security, access control, and more to the CEDIA installers capabilities and skills.

Project Management

Project Management is the application of processes, methods, knowledge, skills and experience to achieve the project objectives.

During this 1-day course, delivered by a CEDIA certified subject matter expert, you will discover the essential skills that every project manager should have in the field of custom smart home installation. You will learn about the time, cost, and quality restraints on a project, within the context of the smart home technology industry, and explore the key principles of project management.

This course is ideal for:

Design Documentation

From felt tipped pens to change orders, method statements and risk assessments, the designers’ toolkit is essential to any project. Without it, no project will ever reach a successful conclusion.  

The course is designed to give you a better understanding of project documentation, with a CEDIA certified subject matter expert on hand to teach you how to prepare and design your own. 

During this 1-day course, you will be exploring and explaining the documents that make up a successful project, from architectural plans, schematics, wiring schedules, change order forms and specifications to final client sign off. You will also learn how to prepare, draw and write your own documents, and you’ll learn how to read and understand documents issued by others during the project process.
