My KNX Store, a specialist branch of Park Electrical Distributors, has announced that its KNX training academy will debut in London in September this year. We are a leading KNX training academy in the UK based at our Newcastle headquarters and offer numerous KNX certification and advanced courses throughout the year. With the rapid growth of KNX projects, in residential, commercial and industrial sectors throughout the UK, we are responding to growing interest in the KNX protocol and believe now is the ideal time to create a foothold in London.
The course, commencing 18th September, is comprised of modules from our foundation and intermediate courses along with a theory and practical exam with successful candidates achieving KNX Partner status. Our Fast Track Certification course is the ideal choice for those wanting to design / install a KNX system or to just understand the KNX in more detail. The course costs £954.00 inc VAT and with class sizes limited to 6 -8 trainees we provide the highest level of tuition and support.
Paul Kinghorn, General Manager, My KNX Store, at Park Electrical Distributors, said:
“We recognise there is a huge potential market for KNX courses, with London and the South East being the prime market. With Google and Amazon developing products for the home automation market it has stimulated great interest in the smart home concept. With KNX, you get the comfort of over 400 manufacturers, it is an open protocol and offers a great amount of flexibility, so it is truly the professional choice for building automation.
“While electricians have always comprised the vast majority of people on our courses, we have recently detected a growing appetite amongst design and build specialists and building management system engineers, amongst others. We are very excited to facilitate a course in London and fully expect that this will be the first of many we will hold here.
“We offer KNX certification at one of the most competitive prices in the UK and our ambition is to grow the number of KNX engineers and therefore installations.
“The syllabus for this course is designed by the KNX Association in Brussels and we aim to ensure all of our candidates leave not only with a pass, but the best working knowledge of KNX. We have invested in our training academy and feel we have an excellent resource and are well placed to serve delegates.”
