Ian Harris, CTS-D, President of ihD Ltd in Hong Kong, has been in the AV industry for 33 years. Here's why he says he values his CTS certification: "In an industry where there are so many AV professionals, I've found my CTS, and then CTS-D, to be very useful ways of differentiating our service to our clients."
The fact that CTS is backed by ANSI "brings a great reassurance to our clients," Harris says. "Especially when we carry out some training or present a design document — the client sees the difference."
