ALLENTOWN, PA: Vistacom Inc. today announced its participation in the audiovisual industry's highly regarded certification program, marking its commitment to education and training for all employees by receiving their gold certification.

The Certified AudioVisual Solutions Provider (CAVSP) Program is the industry standard certification program for companies in the professional audiovisual industry.

"A CAVSP designation gives AV companies a competitive advantage in the marketplace," said Randal A. Lemke, Ph.D., ICIA's executive director.
