CTS is the foundational AV credential, while CTS-D is the advanced design certification held by fewer than 5% of AV professionals worldwide.

Are you a vendor-neutral AV integrator?

Yes. We are completely vendor-neutral and recommend the best solution for your specific needs rather than pushing any single manufacturer.
