Are you passionate about the AV industry and eager to share your knowledge with others? AVIXA is looking for experienced professionals to join our network of instructors and help educate the next generation of AV specialists. As an external instructor, you’ll have opportunities to teach AVIXA courses on an as-needed basis.
Certifications: You must hold AVIXA certifications such as CTS, CTS-D, and/or CTS-I.
Experience: A minimum of 10 years in the AV industry is required.
Expertise: A solid background in specific CTS content areas is essential.
Teaching & Presentation Skills: Prior experience teaching or presenting is highly valuable. However, if you haven’t formally taught before, you should be comfortable with public speaking and confident in leading and engaging a group, and willing to develop your instructional skills.
Virtual & In-Person Training: Instructors should have experience delivering training in both virtual and in-person formats—or at least be adaptable to managing the differences between these teaching methods.
