Designer Certification
The CEDIA Certified Professional Designer certification is for an individual who communicates with clients and design and installation professionals. Also, a certified designer selects the appropriate products and materials to design individual (integrated) residential systems (including alarm, telephone, cable television, satellite television, data, audio, video, home theatre, HVAC, and lighting control). This person has at least five years of related field experience prior to taking the examination. Major content areas covered by the examination are as follows:
- Needs analysis (project evaluation, installation criteria, budgets, contractor management, client relationships)
- Design documentation (generating equipment detail, generating facilities plans, creating wire schedules, block diagrams, schematics, drawings)
- Project design (understanding needs analysis, using contractors, developing programming, overseeing projects)
- Design management (orders, technology, prototypes, mockups, communication, validating system performance)
