The need for a proper structured cabling infrastructure is essential in any custom installation project. Most homes provide little of the wiring needed for true system integration. This workshop will show you the various cables and connectors used in integrated residential systems. You will learn how to terminate these and how to test and certify the installation. This will be an interactive workshop with practical exercises using a range of tools, test and certification equipment, giving you hands on experience.

The purpose of this course is to provide a foundation for understanding IP (Internet Protocol). It is appropriate for both beginners and individuals looking to formalise and increase their IP networking knowledge. With the vast majority of subsystems now having the ability to be converged over an IP network, this is arguably the most important topic to make sure that you have a solid foundation in. The course will cover understanding the 7 layer OSI Model and how it relates to networking (essential learning), applying the OSI model to residential network structure and setup, recognising and understanding basic network hardware and IP Addressing - using the right addresses for the right job.

This course delivers a thorough insight into designing cinemas using standards based engineering calculations. The course teaches the use of world-recognised standards when designing cinema rooms. It dispels myths and removes subjective guesswork. The day is spent working in groups to design a real-world cinema from a real client brief. Knowledge gained in the Advanced Home Cinema Design course will be used throughout. Each group is required to deliver a full home cinema design including design calculations, plans, bill of materials and castings. Designs will then be reviewed and validated by the wider group.

This one-day course is designed to give students a solid understanding of lighting control fundamentals. Lighting control installation can be a profitable area for residential integrators. However, systems should be designed, installed and documented correctly for longterm reliability. Lighting technology has advanced a great deal in recent years. It is now a highly complex field. This course starts by exploring lamp types, their characteristics and capabilities. A strong emphasis is placed upon the science behind the ‘art’ of lighting. Other subjects covered include colour temperature, power law, series vs. parallel wiring, voltage drop and cabling sizing. All technical discussions reference the BS7671 electrical standards.
