ProSource, a national audio, video, and integration buying group, has announced the successful launch of ProSource Academy Level 2. Installers returned last month from a two-and-a-half-day in-person Level 2 training that provided additional skills.
“This training has been such a valuable tool for our new technicians. It gives us a real sense of their ability and how they will work in the field. Level 2 training cements their basic understanding of being a good field tech. The grading system from ProSource is awesome feedback, and I especially appreciate the picture of their class time and work,” says Bryan Naquin President and Owner of Acadian Home Theater & Automation.
“It is worth the investment, and I highly recommend this to all our colleagues. We will send all our new hires through both level 1 and level 2 training in the future…. Great job ProSource.”
The ProSource Academy curriculum includes a variety of topics to provide installers with a well-rounded skill base. The curriculum includes:
- Design Documents
- TV Mounting
- Rack Building
- Structural Integration
- Cable Management
- Thermal Management
- Power Management
ProSource Academy Level 2 allows technicians to gain hands-on experience in a safe learning environment. Coursework is organized around classroom learning, a workbench practice zone, and practical assessments designed to send the technician back to their company armed with the tools they need to begin their journey to Lead Technician.
Technicians will return to work and apply their skills while working with a mentor within the company to validate their understanding and receive practical assessment certifications. Technicians will continue their journey by taking additional classes within ProSource University and subsequent visits to the Academy for more advanced continuing education.
“The ProSource Academy has allowed our technicians to gain knowledge using their own hands and sharpening their skills” says Jenyse White, office manager at Integrated Audio Video, LLC.
“It helped one of our Jr. Techs so much to understand the next level of integrating equipment and wiring. Our recent attendee, Logan, told us that the trainers are great at getting the message across of what they are teaching and are very helpful and patient.”
Attendance at ProSource Academy is included as a membership benefit and is valued at $1,249 per person.
The next ProSource Academy Level 2 classes will take place in Richmond, Va., on October 4 – 6, 2022, as well as November 8 – 10, 2022, and December 6 – 8, 2022.
To attend ProSource Academy Level 2, installers are required to complete specific courses in ProSource University.
