THX Brings Home Theater Training to the UK

THX Certified Professional Home Theater 1 Workshop Offered to UK Installers & Dealers During CEDIA Expo UK

THX Ltd. today announced that it is offering its THX Certified Professional Home Theater 1 workshop to attendees of CEDIA Expo 2009 in London on Sunday, June 21 – the day before CEDIA’s own Expo training seminars herald the start of Expo 09. The CEDIA-accredited THX course is designed to advance the knowledge and skills of custom installers, dealers and system calibrators, as well as provide them a means to generate new business by marketing themselves as THX Certified Professionals.

THX is set to offer a 20 per cent early enrollment, ‘early-bird’ discount to those who register online for the course prior to June 12, 2009. THX Certified Professional workshops are highly rated, with more than 80 percent of past attendees stating that the coursework and THX certification are important for attracting new business and a 91 percent overall rate of satisfaction.

THX Certified Professional Home Theater 1 is a daylong course to introduce custom install professionals to the THX theories and principles of home theater design, room acoustics and product certification. The course curriculum provides attendees the knowledge to assist clients with the selection of home audio and video equipment, system setup and basic calibration. THX Certified Professional Home Theater 1 is also a prerequisite for other THX workshops, including the critically acclaimed THX Certified Professional Video Systems Calibration course.

“The current economic climate in the UK requires custom installers, dealers and calibrators to find new ways to stand out from the competition and provide more value-added services to prospective clients,” said John Dahl, director of education at THX. “Education has always served as a means of career advancement and reinvention, and the THX workshops have helped thousands of CE professionals improve their skills and drive business.”

The THX Certified Professional Home Theater 1 workshop will be held on June 21 (the day before the Expo training begins), from 9am-6pm, at the Novotel London ExCeL, adjacent to the ExCeL Centre. Online registration is available at: THX Training: Scheduled Events.
