Exceptional Innovation Announces Life|ware™ Training and CEDIA CEU Accreditation
Columbus, OH - August 10, 2006 - Exceptional Innovation (EI) today announced 2006 dates for Life|ware Training and the launch of web-based training components at Life|wareUniversity.com. The Life|ware training calendar includes Introduction to Life|ware trainings all around the United States and Life|ware Certification training at EI's headquarters in Columbus, Ohio.
- Introduction to Life|ware is a one-day course providing an introduction to Life|ware and the associated business model.
- Life|ware Certification is a two-day course providing hands-on experience and four (4) Continuing Education Unit (CEU) credits for certified CEDIA professionals.
- Life|ware University is an online training center at www.lifewareuniversity.com set to launch the beginning of September 2006.
Introduction to Life|ware provides an overview of Life|ware as a home automation solution and provides information on how to become a Life|ware Certified dealer. Discussions and instructor-led demonstrations provide ample opportunities to explore how business can be successful selling and installing Life|ware.
Life|ware Certification provides hands-on experience in setting up and configuring Life|ware. Discussion, demonstrations and real-world exercises provide dealers with the necessary know-how to confidently install and configure Life|ware. This course certifies dealers to sell, install and configure Life|ware solutions.
Life|ware Certification also affords CEDIA dealers the opportunity to earn four (4) CEU credits towards the 30 necessary to stay accredited during each 36-month CEDIA cycle. Once completed, dealers have the necessary tools and knowledge to integrate Life|ware into homes and businesses of any size, significantly increasing their potential for new business.
Launching at the CEDIA Expo on Sept. 14, LifewareUniversity.com is Exceptional Innovation's complete, web-based training solution that allows dealers to work through training modules on their schedules and at their pace. LifewareUniversity.com is also a robust and detailed resource for Life|ware Certified professionals to interact, receive updated, get the latest documentation, and stay in perfect step with the Life|ware solution.
Unlike other home automation solutions that tie the homeowner into a single-branded, proprietary solution, Life|ware by Exceptional Innovation is hardware-neutral giving dealers more choices and flexibility to seamlessly integrate with Windows Media Center. Life|ware can be run on a Media Center PC, digital entertainment center, Media Center extender or EI's own Life|touch™ all-digital high definition touch panel. Exceptional Innovation's innovative training programs and effective support tools ensure dealers have the foundation to successfully implement the Life|ware solution.
