Control4 Rolls Out New Associate Installer Certification

New online program helps dealers train and mobilize technicians faster.

Salt Lake City, UT, April 10, 2015 — Control4 Corporation (NASDAQ: CTRL), a leading global provider of home automation and control solutions, today introduced a new Associate Installer online training program to certify entry-level technicians as a first step in their career development in automation installation, programming and design. Our network of independent authorized Control4 dealers now can leverage this free online Associate Installer Certification curriculum to train their employees on basic installation skills utilizing Control4® Composer Express, an easy-to-use mobile configuration and setup tool. Within hours, participants will learn how to install and configure one-room home entertainment systems, as well as assist in the provisioning of lighting devices in larger projects. The goal of the new program is to enable dealers of Control4 products to deploy staff to customers’ homes quickly so they can respond to the growing consumer demand in their local markets.
 
“Control4 dealers have made it clear that they want us to make it easier for them to develop their employees’ skills,” commented Ted Haeger, Senior Director of Training and Support at Control4. “We designed this certification to help our dealers build a technician’s basic competency with Control4 products. Technicians can put their new skills to use immediately with real customer installation work. Dealers can evaluate their employees’ technical acumen in the field before opting to expand their training by sending them to Control4’s four-day course on whole-home automation programming. Control4 is listening, and we’re responding with tools and programs to increase our dealers’ efficiency and profitability.”
 
The new Associate Installer Certification comprises four classes:
 
·   Overview of Solutions
