03/08 - Press Release from CompTIA

Get in on a growing marketplace - digital home technology installation! The lack of technicians qualified to install, integrate and provide service and support for digital home systems has been a major growth inhibitor for the industry. To address this problem, CompTIA and the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), the preeminent consumer technology industry trade association, have joined together to create CEA-CompTIA Digital Home Technology Integrator (DHTI+) certification.

Acquiring CEA-CompTIA DHTI+ certification gives you a competitive edge over others trying to enter this new and expanding market. CEA-CompTIA DHTI+ certifies that individuals have the basic skills and knowledge to configure, integrate, maintain, troubleshoot, and comprehend the basic design concepts of electronic and digital home systems.

Once you are trained and certified, your customers will experience better,
more efficient service. Getting in during the early stages of this growing
market, and developing a loyal customer base will enhance your business.
Customers who experience efficient service will develop loyalty, and thus
increase your likelihood of repeat and referral businesses. If you're
working independently, this means business growth - if you work for an
employer, they will be impressed with your initiative.

CEA-CompTIA DHTI+ was developed and validated by the industry. The target candidate works in a variety of industries and positions related to home technology, including technology integrators, security system technicians, cable, satellite, telecommunications and A/V installers, electricians and network administrators. CompTIA recommends individuals have 18-24 months experience in some area of home technology integration.
