Audia Certification

The APG Education Centre is now offering an in-depth 4-day Biamp technical training course for Audia. For this Biamp-approved course, the classroom has been closely modelled on the training facility at Biamp headquarters in the U.S. and, upon course completion; each student will receive Audia Certification. At the APG Education Centre, each student is supplied with a workspace, control surface and a dedicated AudiaFLEX to connect to. Each participant will have sound sources and monitoring to test their individual designs. This allows each student to become proficient in system connectivity, programming and fault finding, while giving comprehensive hands-on experience. The local and overseas instructors are audio professionals who have extensive field experience with Biamp products. This ensures the training is both current and relevant to the needs of technical sales people, designers, technicians and programmers working with Biamp products. Instruction will be in a group as well as individualised.

Benefits / Outcomes

DownloadThe purpose of the Audia Certification course is to train the participant to use Audia as a complete solution to audio systems design, control, and processing of audio signals. Special emphasis is placed on the features that make Audia unique in the industry. The targeted outcome is skill development so that each participant can return to their job and perform with Audia at all levels, from designing to final commissioning of the project. The varied approach of lecturing, guided designing, as well as hands-on exercises and design projects will satisfy a range of learning styles and expectations. Upon satisfactorily designing an Audia system to specification, each participant will receive an Audia Certificate of Achievement, endorsed by Biamp. This accreditation certifies the bearer to be a trained professional BiampAudia installer and programmer, allowing them to supply and install Audia projects. Evaluation is part of the training process. The evaluation process is informal. Each participant will be required to:
  1. Design and display their design to the class;
  2. Design to a provided specification, create a control screen in daVinci and demonstrate to the class.
