Registration phase
- In order to become a KNX certified training centre, the interested training centre shall create an 'organization' in its MyKNX account and complete the online application (menu: Account / Applications / Become a KNX Certified Training Centre).
- If the application is not accepted by KNX Association for any reason, the training centre will receive a notification that certain fields are incomplete and have to be updated. In this case, the training centre 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 training centre will receive an order of €500 in its MyKNX account. Once the order is accepted and paid, the training centre will be approved as an official KNX certified training centre. The KNX certified training centre will now have access to various training resources (e.g. 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 tutor to convey the necessary level of basic knowledge to the students. Students of a KNX course have the right to receive a printed version or a PDF copy of this training documentation from the KNX certified training centre.
KNX training centres may modify this training documentation according to the KNX devices available in their classroom and according to their own local and organizational needs. Training centres are also allowed to put their training centre/company logo on the training documentation.
Should the training centre establish own documentation based on the KNX training documentation, a cross-reference list must be available, showing how the topics of the KNX training documentation are dealt with in the own documentation. Such a list must be kept up to date with new releases of the KNX and own 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 certificate after successful assessment of the requested documentation (i.e., KNX tutor certificate, photos & invoices of training rigs and media equipment)
Surveillance phase
The continuous compliance of the training centre to 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 students.
KNX Association has the right to organize surprise on-site inspections. If the inspector detects any irregularities or shortcomings, the expenses made by the KNX inspector shall be borne by the KNX training centre.
