Control4 Says 1,000 Installers Have Registered for Its Network Training Program

Control4 said more than 1,000 installers registered for its Pakedge certified network administrator (PCNA) training program. The company noted that more than a year ago 30 percent of dealer support problems involved solely a network issue rather than hardware snafus. Dealing with a dealer base that had come to the home control market largely from the AV side, the company launched the PCNA curriculum after it bought networking company Pakedge two years ago (see 1602040032), it said. The six-week curriculum includes coursework, online instructional office hours and an online exam to ensure networking competency, said the company Wednesday. The training program launched last fall.
