Resources

Information and communications technology (ICT) has changed dramatically over the past few years and it's clear it will continue to do so. Understanding this transition is essential for our members' -- and the industry's -- continued success. TIA runs a number of programs aimed at keeping members abreast of the current trends and latest technolgies.

Convergence Certification Programs

TIA offers educational webinars, events and summits throughout the year, including the extensive, world-class programming at NXTcomm, being held June 16-19, 2008 in Las Vegas, Nev.

Convergence of data, voice, video and wireless services into a single network requires communications solutions providers to offer turn-key solutions led by qualified sales, installation and support personnel. Is your team ready? TIA, along with leading suppliers and channel partners, has established industry-standard, vendor-neutral exams and certifications to confirm the base-level knowledge and address the needs of employers for convergence solutions: the Convergence Technologies Professional (CTP) certification and the Certified in Convergent Network Technologies (CCNT) credential.
