CEDIA Resumes On-Site, In-Person Training After Pausing for COVID-19

After “extensive consideration and mindful planning,” CEDIA is resuming in-person training beginning next month at its Fishers, Indiana, headquarters, it said Monday. The organization will host courses with “safety-focused measures,” it said. Before arriving on-site for the program, learners will need to complete a questionnaire detailing any COVID-19 exposure or symptoms. While on-site, COVID-19 safety measures will include: required mask-wearing by learners and instructors at all times in the building, daily temperature checks before entering the building and reduced class sizes allowing for Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-recommended social distancing. The first training, covering cabling and infrastructure, is a hybrid course being offered for the first time with a self-paced online learning course that will complement hands-on learning at the CEDIA training facility Aug. 17-19. Other courses will include Home Theater Boot Camp and Advanced Networking Boot Camp, CEDIA said.
