By Ed Korenman Ten industry organizations joined forces to identify core skills required of entry-level home systems installers and technicians and to develop a corresponding curriculum for use in academic and training institutions. In addition to the technical skills, the requirements for installers include human relations and administrative skills. Once the Consortium agrees to approve a required skills and knowledge document, it will turn its efforts to developing a curriculum which details how to teach each skill. Both groups regularly field calls from consumers with interference problems involving telephones, audio equipment, televisions, VCRs and other consumer electronics products.
Interference usually results in noise, unwanted voices or distorted television pictures.
In most cases, the source of the interference is nearby. This will demonstrate to those systems installers who complete the coursework that a quality career path with tremendous flexibility and high-tech training awaits them. All rights reserved.
