CompTIA HTI+ To Beta in August
6/19/2002 -- The Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA) recently updated its Web site to reveal more information about its upcoming Home Technology Integrator+ (HTI+) certification.
According to the new HTI+ section, exams for this title will beta in August, with final release in late October/early November 2002.
HTI+ is the product of a joint alliance between CompTIA and the Internet Home Alliance, a nonprofit industry association of manufacturers of technology products for the home. The title is designed to certify the skills of those who install, integrate and troubleshoot the following systems: home security, audio/video, computer networks, electrical wiring, heating and air conditioning systems, cable/satellite, broadband, telecommunications and commercial wiring.
Because of this diverse list of specialties, CompTIA said that it will offer two separate HTI+ exams that focus on separate technology areas. Candidates will be required to pass only one, although the organization did not publish details on what the breakdown between the two exams might be. CompTIA is currently working with the certification's cornerstone members, including Best Buy, CompUSA, Cisco Systems and Sears, to develop the exam objectives.
CompTIA originally announced its plans for HTI+ in February. At that time, the certification was named Residential Systems Integrator+ (RSI+).

Does this mean that our neighbors are going to want to see our HTI cert before making $20 for 3 hours fixing their emachine PC on the side? Some of these certs are just plain ridiculous. |

I must admit it seems kinds bogus, no-one is going to require this certification or probably even know what it stands for? |

It is not for working a peice of junk PC on the side you knuckleheads. Look at it. It is still kind of bogus, but it is for high-tech people who work on your home. The problem is that this is a call for cable companies and the like to require this of the already over burdened worker who can't tell me a more precise arrival time than somewhere between 10 and 4 for installing my stupid cable TV. |

Well if you ask me if CompTIA says it is needed, then it must be. Either that or they need more money. But with the price of there exams then I would think they don't need to worry about that. |

I've read through it & I really don't see the need. CompTIA is putting out way too many "entry" level certs that don't mean much to an employer. I see a good reaction to my A Plus, but not the Net Plus or Server Plus from employers in interviews. They could care less. They need to focus on improving the quality & not the quantity of their exams. Does the comsumer check the installer for his certifications prior to him hooking up what ever he is there for. NO! They figure he is qualified if the company sent him out in the first place because the company has to stand behind his work. |

Actually this is more for home automation than a PC or network cert. It is to test the knowlege of residential subsystems and how to intergrate them. |

You airheads don't have a clue. The Internet Alliance(General Motors,Cisco,Whirlpool,Panasonic,Sun,Invensys,etc.) approached compTIA to develope the exam. The Cornerstone members decided on the need. They just contract CompTIA to develope and administer. Chauncey(ever heard of them?) is doing the developement. If you don't work in the indusry(Security,HVAC,Hi-end AV,Telcom) you have no idea how much money is involved. The people who have the money, spend it. Just keep hacking away on your little PC and leave the big money to those who have enough sense to follow the market. |
