Course Description
A comprehensive review of residential structured wiring designed for new and
inexperienced home technology installers. This course is also appropriate for
builders, subcontractors, home technology manufacturers, and anyone with a
serious interest in residential low voltage wiring.
This course provides a thorough grounding in the concepts and technologies of
residential low voltage structured wiring, with emphasis on positive client
relations, working safely and efficiently, coordinating with construction
schedules and trades, installation best-practices, and future-proofing homes for
the adoption of emerging technologies.
Informative text, detailed color diagrams, and instructional videos teach
precisely what students need to know to successfully install structured wiring
systems. Special In Depth articles provide deeper background and
technical information on critical topics, and Project Management Tips
coach installers on good management practices. An online Glossary
provides ready access to definitions of key terms.
The course is divided into 10 training modules – each module ends with a
quiz, and a comprehensive test at the end of the course allows students to
demonstrate their newfound knowledge of structured wiring.
PrerequisitesStudents should have a basic understanding of what residential technologies are and the benefits they provide, but no prior technical knowledge is required.
