What is CEDIA & why should I care?
What is CEDIA?
Whether you’re building a new home, extending, refurbishing, or need specialist help – CEDIA (cedia.org) member companies are your trusted home technology partners.
CEDIA is the global industry body for smart and connected home technology - focusing on education, advocacy and promoting the highest standards for our growing industry.
I carry the following professional accreditations:
ESC-D Certified Designer
Turning wishlists into reality
RNS Residential Networking Specialist
Networks that work - securely - everywhere
IST Smart Home Technician
All-round knowledge and ability
CEDIA Accredited Presenter & CPD Author
Delivering great training for design/build professionals
Thanks to my commitment to training, high standard of workmanship, and volunteering for the industry, in 2019 I became the first integrator in the world to be awarded CEDIA's top-level designation - Member of Excellence.
What is a CEDIA Member of Excellence?
CEDIA Member of Excellence is the highest designation the industry’s professional association awards - independently verified across seven categories covering: certifications, financial standing, customer care, project documentation, volunteering, outreach, and award-winning work. Recipients must meet the mandatory five categories, plus one of the final two. Cinemaworks achieved all seven.
It matters because anyone can claim they’re good at this. Member of Excellence means a third party has checked - not just that the work looks nice, but that the business behind it holds up to scrutiny.
