The Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA) and the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) have collaborated to create a Digital Home Technology Integrator (DHTI+) certification. It verifies the knowledge, training and experience of a home technology integrator.
The CEA is a worldwide trade association of over 2,200 companies that design, manufacture, distribute, sell and install residential electronics systems.
In addition to the DHTI+ certification, the CEA has developed a wide variety of certification tests for electronics technicians.
