Vistacom Offers Training Program

ALLENTOWN, PA: Vistacom Inc., the largest audiovisual integrator in the area, has developed a training program in order to assist subcontractors in reaching a higher level of professional installation. The Subcontractor Training Program is a hands-on experience which includes an awareness of the tools used in integration, proper cable dressing, rack wiring, soldering, proper wire terminations, insight into the proper connector, and a review of Vistacom's engineered prints. The program generally runs one day depending on the ability and installation skills of those attending. Individual attention is then given to each person attending.

"Our policy is to provide a quality product that is designed and built to satisfy the needs of each of our clients," stated Art Herring, training instructor and installation technician at Vistacom. "So by providing training to subcontractors, we can then maintain an elevated standard clear through to the final stage of installation."

During training, Vistacom provides all of the necessary tools, wire and connectors to perform the work. At the conclusion of the training, it is then the responsibility of the subcontractors to purchase the specific tools demonstrated. The trained individuals will then be assigned to the proper Vistacom project and will be expected to practice the procedures demonstrated in the training program.

"There is an old proverb that says, "Unless the trumpet sounds a distinct call, how can the soldiers ready for battle," stated Herring. "In other words, how can subcontractors know what is expected of them unless they are properly trained? Time and time again, we have subcontractors thanking us for our training program as it provides them with an understanding of Vistacom's installation standards."
