Home Cinema Digest (HCD), is partnering with THX as sponsor for its THX Certified Professional Home Theater 1 workshop.
Taking place ahead of CEDIA Expo 2009 in London on Sunday, June 21, the CEDIA-accredited course is designed to advance the knowledge and skills of custom installers, dealers and system calibrators, as well as providing them with a means to generate new business by marketing themselves as THX Certified Professionals.
As part of the sponsorship, THX is offering a 20% ‘early bird’ discount to those who register online for the course prior to June 12, 2009, courtesy of HCD. For further details see the May edition of HCD, or register Here.
“HCD magazine is delighted to be partnering THX for this all-important workshop,” comments HCD publisher Rob Lane. “UK custom installers and retailers will benefit greatly from becoming certified THX professionals, and I’m sure that all those that participate will win new business as a result of their new-found knowledge and accreditation."
THX Certified Professional workshops are highly rated, with more than 80% of past attendees stating that the coursework and THX certification are important for attracting new business.
The THX Certified Professional Home Theater 1 is a day-long course to introduce custom install professionals to the THX theories and principles of home theater design, room acoustics and product certification. The course curriculum provides attendees with the knowledge to assist clients with the selection of home audio and video equipment, system setup and basic calibration.
THX Certified Professional Home Theater 1 is also a prerequisite for other THX workshops, including the critically acclaimed THX Certified Professional Video Systems Calibration course.
“The current economic climate in the UK requires custom installers, dealers and calibrators to find new ways to stand out from the competition and provide more value-added services to prospective clients,” says John Dahl, director of education at THX. “Education has always served as a means of career advancement and reinvention, and the THX workshops have helped thousands of CE professionals improve their skills and drive business.”
