AN OPPORTUNITY FOR RENEWAL
David Penrose of Kramer Electronics presented a Control training and CTS renewal course in February 2013. David Penrose, who is a system specialist for Kramer Electronics and is based in their Bangkok, Thailand office, provided the training on behalf of hosts Electrosonic SA. Jason Johnstone, Kramer product manager at Electrosonic SA, coordinated David's weeklong visit to South Africa.
David is CTS certified to give training courses that offer CTS renewal points. As David has many years of experience in the Pro AV industry, Electrosonic SA thought it would be appropriate that he present the Designing in the Digital Age course. This is an all-day seminar that incorporates four existing Digital AV courses – Digital AV for the AV Professional, Digital Display Interfaces for the AV Professional, AV-IT: When Worlds Collide, and AV Signals Gone Wireless.
The course, which was fully booked, was held in Electrosonic SA's training room in Johannesburg. The course is worth ten renewal points for CTS holders, which attributed to the good turn-out.
David made it very clear to CTS holders and dealers how beneficial this particular offering was in dealing with issues experienced by integrators in the digital world.
The rest of the week David spent presenting the Kramer Control course, which included a practical session where the learners had the opportunity to programme Demo Kramer control panels to execute the projects given to them.
This course drew great attendance in Johannesburg, and also in Durban and Cape Town. "The Kramer Control Course is fantastic for our dealers as they get an in-depth breakdown of the Kramer control software which is used to programme the control gear. All that theory would be wasted if there was no practical component in these types of courses" said Jason.
The Kramer control product range has seen excellent growth over the last two years and the dealers and integrators who attend these courses are usually impressed at just how cost-effective control can be using this range of products.
