Who is the training for?
Dealers and Integrators
If you have new technicians or want to help them grow within the company, Atlona Academy offers a multidisciplinary and multitiered training program to help your team gain the industry skills and experience to be successful.
Sales and End-Users
You need to understand the industry elements and language to be successful at choosing the right partners. Atlona Academy will provide an overview of the AV industry to give you a solid foundation and offers the opportunity to increase your skills as far as you are willing to go.

Velocity can help you get a system started so that you can test the connections, but it also has the ability to be customized without the need for a computer science degree.

Coursework
Level 101: Foundations
2 CTS, 2 CTS-I/.75 CEU
This is a survey-type course that walks you through the language and basic understanding of six primary elements within the AV industry. We cover computers and the basics you need to know to make it your most important tool, then we add cabling, audio, video, networking, and control. Each of these topics has a language and overlaps with each other to create a complete AV system.
Now Available
Level 201: Fundamentals
1 CTS/.5 CEU
Now that you know the elements, we build the solutions from a simple point-to-point through to a full distributed system. Understanding how the connections work separately to send the signal from one location to another. Then we overlay the Atlona product lines and how we solve these issues with Atlona.

Level 301: Programming
3.5 CTS, 3.5 CTS-I/3.5 CEU
Our Velocity control system allows you to use a plug-and-play template to create a control system with our Atlona products and many third-party products. At this level, we take it a step further and help you understand our custom graphical user interface and custom drivers for deeper control.
Now Available
Level 302: Advanced Programming
In this class we dive deeper into the Custom UI and create an entire room in the Custom UI. We look at timers, pin codes, page flips, and other common touch panel design elements that cannot be done in the Velocity template. On day two, we dive deeper into the driver creation and two-day parsing in drivers. This class is for those whose primary job is programming, and they need to understand how to create custom touch panels.

Level 501: Installation
6 CTS, 6 CTS-D, 6 CTS-I / 6 CEU
Installers need to be able to read the design schematics, understand the solutions to be able to articulate them to the user when getting sign-off, configure and deploy the solution, and train and maintain the documentation. Technicians are the front line, so we help them understand the gotchas that can eat up time on site, and what Atlona considers best practices for solid installations.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Where and when are the training sessions available in my region?
We have one facility in the United States and one facility in Germany. This facility teaches the Level 501 Installer class. We are not equipped to do regional trainings at this time.
What are the training costs for the in-person sessions?
We do not charge for training; however, you do have to pay to get to the training city and pay for a hotel. Atlona pays for lunches and one dinner, and most hotels have a discount code and include breakfast.
How long do these in-person modules take to complete?
In-person is 2 full days. Online prerequisites, Level 101-401, can be tested out, but if you need to watch the videos the entire time is about 14 hours, plus the Level 301 Velocity project which adds about 2-3 hours depending on the level of the students.
When does the training expire?
The Level 101-401 will be updated each year online with the latest Atlona products and industry information. Level 501 (In-Person) will not require a renewal for 24 months.
Can I reserve a spot in an upcoming training?
Due to the limited availability, we do not allow for the reservation of spots. Students must complete the Level 101 – 401 tests online before signing up for Level 501 of their choice.
