Smart home training on offer
For many home owners, the local electrician or cabler is the first port of call when considering smart home technologies. Awareness of smart devices and home automation systems is growing, giving electricians and cablers the opportunity to capitalise on what is quickly becoming an essential utility in today’s homes.
In order to offer your clients a truly customised solution — and to maximise business potential — you need to know what you’re talking about.
CEDIA has introduced two new training initiatives form Australian electricians and cablers
