For students the nightmare is showing up on the day of a test and realizing you’re late and forgot to prepare. Or standing up to give a presentation and realizing you have no clothes on. For the AV integrator and IT professional the project nightmare is getting to site and two other trades occupy the space and the hardware has not been delivered. Or delays in commissioning the system have delayed end-user training. (And maybe you forgot your clothes, too.) AV technology is advancing at a rapid pace, but product knowledge and quality management training and certifications for individuals and companies has not always kept pace.

Mesa, Arizona - June 13th – AQAV announced today it will be naming Level 3 Audiovisual as an approved training center for AV9000 CQT classes on the West coast of the U.S.

“It has been my ambition to bring basic Quality Management Principles to the Audiovisual Technology industry, as other industries have done, primarily for the benefit of the consumer, and therefore for the benefit of all who manage, procure, manufacture, design, install, program, and service that industry”, said Mario Maltese, Executive Director for The Association for Quality in Audio Visual Technology, Inc. (AQAV).
