Courts across the country have asked for training for existing personnel, especially Information Technology personnel, in audio and video technology. In response, we offer a three-day certification course, the Basic Course, to provide the participant with a basic understanding of audio/video systems, requirements for maintaining them, and a foundation for improved communication with vendors and installers. We also offer an advanced course to be taken six months or more after the basic course, which provides the technician with the hands-on training for designing, installing, and maintaining A/V/ systems. Audio/Video Design, the final course in the series, is designed for court personnel to develop skills in facility and electronic design.
The need for people to support the ever growing population of courtroom audio/video systems has become critical. Budgets make it almost impossible for many courts to hire outside experts. In the absence of dedicated expertise, courts have been compelled to turn maintenance, and sometimes installation, of audio systems, digital recording equipment, evidence presentation hardware, and video conferencing equipment over to staff charged with other responsibilities, often court or county IT personnel. If your court is in this position, the basic A/V certification course is your next step.
