Trade body (AVIXA, the audiovisual industry association that operates the credential programme)

Summary

AVIXA distinguishes general AV knowledge, system design and installation credentials.

Key findings

  • The CTS-D and CTS-I sections respectively list AV system designers and engineers, and installation technicians, system integrators and system commissioners, as examples of credential holders.
  • Describes CTS as demonstrating general audiovisual tasks, including creating, implementing, supporting and servicing AV solutions.
  • CTS-D covers assessing client needs, design, coordination, documentation, system verification and project closeout; CTS is required before taking the CTS-D examination.
  • CTS-I covers installation, configuration, maintenance, system testing, training and project closeout documentation; CTS is required before applying for that examination.
  • States that the CTS programme is ANAB-accredited to ISO 17024. The page describes broad AV credentials rather than an examination dedicated to hearing loops or Auracast.
