Designer Certificate Program -Protocol Option
In 120-150 days, our designer track will teach you how to create controls submittals and designs that get approved the first time. Submittals are the lifeblood of building automation projects. Without approved submittals, you cannot start ordering materials or executing projects. Yet the controls designer role continues to be a bottleneck at most companies with the average BAS designer taking 5+ years to train. Students get to choose from two options for the Design Certificate Program: IT Option or Protocol Option.Â
Our Designer Certificate Program helps students to:
- Independently design controls submittals from scratch in as little as 3 months
- Complete all training online
- Go from zero knowledge to managing the submittal design process in less than 120 days.
