CEDIA Rebrands Design Build Program

CEDIA, the association for smart home professionals, has rebranded its former CEDIA Outreach Instructor program to the Design Build Program, clarifying its objective to provide accredited education on smart home technology topics within the design and build community.

This refreshed initiative is designed to deliver a blend of self-paced and instructor-led virtual modules, allowing member applicants to elevate professional presentation skills, gain industry insights and establish vital business-to-business networking contacts in their local area. The new program structure is broken down into the following modules:

Part A: Self-paced virtual training

Open to members and available to non-members for a fee, this segment includes two self-paced, one-hour modules on CEDIA’s Academy platform, designed to develop skills in preparing impactful presentations and enhancing communication skills.

 Part B: Instructor-led virtual training

Exclusively for members, Part B delves into design-build expertise. This two-hour, instructor-led virtual session provides insights into effectively targeting, profiling and collaborating with architects, interior designers and builders based on the global region the course is being taken in.

Upon completing the full training, instructors become CEDIA Smart Home Continuing Education Instructors, gaining access to an extensive library of CEDIA Continuing Education courses. These courses are accredited by global trade organizations, including AIA, ASID, BIID and RIBA. Click here for more details.
