BICSI Installer Credential Spotlight
Share Your Experience in the Next BICSI Credential Spotlight
"Earning the BICSI Installer 1 certificate and Installer 2, Copper credential has
increased my credibility with customers, especially when creating educational
content, helping to break down barriers and establish trust. The knowledge I've
gained is helpful in the new product development space because meeting
others in the BICSI credentialing community allows for a greater understanding
of installers' needs and requirements.
Achieving additional industry education applicable to my career is an effective way
to establish credibility with other industry professionals. In fact, the INST1 and INSTC make me
a more valuable employee at trueCABLE. The INST1 has been my springboard for achieving
additional and higher credentials down the road."
