CEDIA University certification ensures proficiency in home technology fields
RICHMOND, VA (May 2, 2006) — NSN has completed extensive training and successfully
passed a rigorous examination process to earn professional certification from CEDIA University
and the Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association (CEDIA).
CEDIA and its 3,000 member companies around the world specialize in the design and
installation of home networks, home automation and communications systems, theater rooms,
and whole-house entertainment systems. The foremost experts in the residential electronic
systems industry teach CEDIA University’s world-class education programs. Its certification
exams are notoriously difficult to pass and only about 50 percent of the people who sit for the
exam actually pass it and receive certification.
As a CEDIA-Certified professional contractor, NSN has a competitive advantage through a
proven commitment to higher quality, productivity, and professionalism.
“Consumers who choose CEDIA-Certified contractors for their home technology design and
installation are working with the best in the business,” said Andy Willcox, president of CEDIA.
“CEDIA certification stands for a higher standard of excellence with the knowledge and skills to
exceed expectations and deliver solutions that enhance the consumers’ lifestyle.”

and furthers the knowledge and professional skills of members and students in the custom
electronics and installation industry. Its mission focuses on helping business owners and their
