Indian AV Specialist Certification Course

CAVS is not a clone. It is independent and a standalone initiative by the AV-ICN platform.

AV-ICN is an independent, neutral AV technology expo. The platform comprises a full fledged three-day conference on AV industry attracting the leading intelligensia of the AV industry. AV-ICN platform also includes a magazine dedicated to AV technology. AV-ICN also publishes a newsletter every fortnight circulating digitally to the entire database of the AV industry to 62,000 recipients including the pro audio industry. Apart from the expo and magazine and newsletter, the AV-ICN website is a cornerstone which is updated daily with news on the AV industry. The CAVS is an important edition to the AV-ICN platform. AV-ICN also actively communicates with the AV industry on FB, Instagram and Twitter. AV-ICN is a comprehensive platform evidently dedicated to AV technology, AV professionals and AV solutions for India where next gen AV innovation is being absorbed and used at par with global trends.

AV-ICN platform possesses a certain level of knowledge quotient of AV technology. Professionals in AV technology have been involved in preparing the curriculum, the course faculty is also credible and includes active professionals from the industry. However, I feel that this is a given for any education course, providing certification is totally justified as the AV-ICN platform is clearly deeply involved with AV technology and possesses the required knowledge quotient to deliver a three-day course with an examination and I feel justified in issuing a certificate.

Naturally, the curriculum is 100% legitimate as the cost includes technical content. The cost is a matter of choice. The technology remains the same for every cost from every institution. As I said, hardcore professionals have prepared the curriculum. CAVS curriculum is infact the best researched content applicable as a primer for AV specialists imparting important information on key information specially for AV integration networking and communication.

Right! Point specific first three sections are naturally - 1. Audio 2. Video 3. IT – Information Technology. Each section explains the basic structure of: a) Standards b) Protocol c) Connectors d) Cables e) Best practices in networking, integration and communication.

Over three days in the CAVS classroom, AV is introduced with a primer on subjects like acoustics, signal-to-noise ratio, frequency, impedance in audio and features of products like headphones, amplifiers and microphones are explained.

In video, students are introduced to concepts of resolution, aspect ratio, screen size, display technology and inverse square law, and products on digital signage, conferencing, lighting control and integration of spaces like auditoria.

In the IT section, different types of networks, types of signals, lighting control concepts and other concepts relating to AV integration are introduced.

At the end of three days and the examination, the student is far ahead in understanding AV and entering the AV industry as an employee has the credibility to be considered an AV specialist.

The Certified AV Specialist course is an absolute necessity. I want to reiterate, it was absolutely necessary to create an Indian AV specialist course. I want to emphasize that CAVS is an imperative catalyst to develop and attract talent and human resource to the AV industry as a career.

Anyone with CAVS certification will stand apart from the normal technician. Clearly, integration and networking projects executed by CAVS teams are ensured to adopt best practices and proper standards and protocols.

CAVS is affordable to the point where the actual course is below cost at this point. Education is the key factor in CAVS initiative. AV-ICN platform is committed to impart knowledge, information and education on AV technology. CAVS is a very meaningful contribution where the entire effort in creating a purposeful curriculum and then subsidizing the classroom and course attracts talented human resource to AV industry.
