Before the organization of a KNX course
Create a course in MyKNX
If the educational institute has planned any KNX NextGen courses, it must first add a KNX NextGen course to its MyKNX account, as explained in Creating a KNX NextGen course in MyKNX. Apprentices who are interested in taking this course have to sign up for it by means of their MyKNX account, as explained in How to sign up for a KNX NextGen course? Once all internal administrative tasks have been carried out, the educational institute must confirm the application of the apprentice. More information can be found in First contact with the apprentice.
Timetable
A timetable for the KNX NextGen course needs to be drawn up to document the number of hours allocated to the several topics of the course. The following elements are an indispensable part of a timetable:
- Course name;
- Course date;
- Training documentation version used during the course;
- Number of allocated hours to each chapter;
- Exam duration;
- Course location;
- Name or number of the classroom;
- Name of the KNX Teacher(s);
Note:
- The educational institute itself chooses the timeframe for the specific course. The individual modules can, e.g., be split over several weeks or months.
- This timetable also has to be established when creating the KNX course
- An example of a timetable can be found on the KNX Cloud server (see your MyKNX account for access details to the KNX Cloud server).
During the organization of a KNX course
Safety regulation
Right before the KNX course starts, it is important to inform the apprentices of the relevant safety regulations. These safety regulations can be oral or written guidelines to prevent possible hazards and thus achieve a maximum degree of efficiency and safety during the KNX course.
Note: An example of the safety regulation can be found on the KNX Cloud server (see your MyKNX account for access details to the KNX Cloud server).
Attendance List
There are two possibilities to document the presence of the apprentice in the KNX course:
- The Teacher checks whether the apprentice is present every training day and marks this in his attendance list.
- Each apprentice individually signs the attendance list at the beginning of each day of class.
After the organization of a KNX course
Entering results of the KNX exam(s)
Once the course is finished, the apprentice shall take a theoretical/practical exam. More information can be found in Composing an online theoretical exam and Composing an offline theoretical exam.
Issuing the KNX NextGen course certificate (Optional)
Each apprentice will, after a successful exam, receive an official PDF Apprentice certificate in his/her MyKNX account. If the educational institute decides to also issue a paper certificate (not an obligation), then it must do so based on the certificate template that is available on the KNX Cloud server. The content of the certificate shall be according to the sample certificate (see document 'Annexes' on the same Cloud server). The KNX certificate must contain the following details:
- name, date, and place of birth of the apprentice
- title and contents of the course
- duration and time of the course
- date of issue, name of educational institute (with its logo)
- place of examination
- signature of head of educational institute and KNX Teacher
