KNX UK's application for entry into the Cibse Directory of CPD Course Providers has now been accepted. The full range of KNX CPD courses is now listed in the Cibse Directory for the next two years.
The KNX UK Association represents manufacturers, systems integrators, distributors as well as training providers for KNX intelligent building technology. Iain Gordon, president of KNX UK said: "The acceptance of our KNX CPD courses by Cibse is a major breakthrough for us, clearly highlighting KNX as a vital building services discipline. The opportunity for engineers to further their knowledge of KNX as part of their Continuous Professional Development will give the technologies and protocol behind KNX a wider professional audience. It will help KNX to achieve wider and quicker acceptance by our most critical target audience – building services professionals."
