SAVI, designer and manufacturer of commercial AV control, automation, and management solutions, is pleased to announce that the company has been named an official AVIXA Certified Technology Specialist™ (CTS®) Renewal Unit (RU) Provider. This will allow the more than 13,000 professionals around the world holding AVIXA’s CTS credential to earn renewal units towards their certification by completing SAVI technical certification training.   

SAVI’s three-day hands-on training at the company’s Dallas headquarters covers master installation, configuration, and commissioning of a SAVI commercial AV system, including instruction on programming and integration of SAVI’s audio video, networking, lighting, control, and automation solutions. Students will learn how to configure entire systems and at curriculum-end, will submit their own dedicated project encompassing rack equipment, displays, audio zones, lighting, macros and more – ready for commissioning. The curriculum also covers networking basics, custom drivers, no-code programming, and simplified third-party product integration.   

“SAVI simplifies all facets of the custom integration process, radically reducing the time to design, program, and install commercial projects of all sizes. Yet, before new technicians start deploying SAVI, we want to arm them with the technical skillset to confidently deliver extraordinary experiences for their customers.  It’s a win for our dealers, a win for their customers, and for their clientele,” said John Dorsey, SAVI founder and CEO.   

For more than 30 years, AVIXA has administered the CTS program, which is recognized as the leading AV professional credential. There are three CTS credentials: general (CTS), design (CTS-D), and installation (CTS-I).  

To obtain approval, RU programs must feature experienced instructors with clear evidence of qualifications in the session topic. Each class must contain at least one relevant learning objective or industry-related purpose; relate to a specific exam topic area and exam level and conclude with an assessment tool to demonstrate participants have grasped the objectives. These criteria are vigorously reviewed by AVIXA’s Certification Renewal Unit Committee.
