KNX Training, the professional approach

We can never stress enough how important training is and with KNX gaining in popularity in the UK there is an increasing demand for KNX certified training courses which deliver both theoretical and practical training. KNXshop offers an introductory and full certification course from their base in West Sussex.

2 day course : Introduction to KNX

The two day introductory course is just that, a practical and theoretical introduction into what KNX has to offer and basically gives people who are new to the technology an overview of the technology.

The course has become increasingly popular with people wanting to gain an insight into what KNX is about and how they could make it work for them. It is a good way for installers and contractors to decide if this is a route they want to take and if it could provide additional business opportunities for them.

The success of the introductory course and the demand for more information soon led KNXshop to provide the full KNX Certification Course which is prescribed by KNX in Brussels and requires participants to pass an exam to obtain KNX certification.

5 day course : Full Certification

By signing up to the five day KNX Certification Course, participants are making a significant statement that they want to be involved with KNX. Not only is it a fairly arduous five days, a pass mark at the end of it is by no means a given. The syllabus for the course is set down by Brussels and therefore there is no room for manoeuvre. We are delivering someone else’s course, but what this does mean is that the successful students will be trained to a specific standard and therefore we can guarantee that they leave us as professionals.

The course includes KNX theory and practical training in ETS (the independent programming tool). This is followed by KNX certification via an exam on the last day and a path to Partner status which includes representation on the KNX website and the right to join the national association.

In short the Certification course allows individuals to gain the information they need to start working with KNX and it gives the industry the guarantee that they are employing a competent person to do the job.

There is a wide variety of different people who sign up for the course and they range from small one-man companies to large contractors, all of whom are keen to add KNX to their list of skills. Graeme Bunyan who works for Sysco took part in the course, he says: “As a company we do a lot of work with system design and integration in the AV market and because of the scope of our work it always comes down to control systems. KNX first came across the radar about a year ago and since then we have come across the same questions time and time again – how could KNX improve the installation?

“One of the main problems for us is trying to link different technologies and make numerous different systems work together. What we actually want to work with is one robust infrastructure that can control everything. By coming on this course I am hoping that KNX will provide some of these answers and help to simplify future installations.”
