Registration phase
- In order to become a KNX NextGen educational institute, the interested party shall create an 'organization' in its MyKNX account and complete the online application (menu: Account / Applications / Become a KNX NextGen educational institute).
- If the application is not accepted by KNX Association for any reason, the educational institute will receive a notification that certain fields are incomplete and have to be updated. In this case, it has to go back to the pending application and complete the corresponding fields.
- As soon as the online application is accepted by KNX Association, the educational institute will receive a pro forma invoice of €250 in its MyKNX account. Once the pro forma invoice is accepted and paid, KNX Association will approve it as an official KNX NextGen educational institute. It will now have access to various training resources (e.g., the possibility to create courses, download the Word version of the training documentation and/or PowerPoint presentations, create exams, etc.).
KNX Training documentation
The KNX training documentation assists the KNX teacher in conveying the necessary level of elementary knowledge to the apprentices. Apprentices in a KNX NextGen course have the right to only receive a printed or PDF version of this training documentation from the educational institute.
The educational institute may modify this training documentation according to the KNX devices available in their classroom and according to their own local and organizational needs. Educational institutes are also allowed to put their logo on the training documentation.
The educational institute is also allowed to establish its own documentation based on the KNX training documentation.
Note:
-
Which documentation languages are supported can be found in Supported documentation languages.
- New versions of the training documentation as supplied by KNX Association shall be immediately used during KNX courses.
Certification phase
KNX Association grants the respective KNX NextGen certificate after successful assessment of the requested documentation (i.e., the KNX Partner certificate, photos and invoices of the training set and media equipment). The certificate is valid for 3 years. During these three years, the educational institute can create as many NextGen courses as it wishes. If, after three years, it is still interested in offering KNX NextGen courses, it must simply update its MyKNX profile.
Surveillance phase
The continuous compliance of the educational institute with the KNX certification program is checked by KNX Association on the basis of the completed online satisfaction surveys that are filled out by the KNX apprentices.
