OpenAVC Academy teaches AV control programmers and integrators to build, test and hand over control systems with OpenAVC. The courses are self-paced and free to start. You work in your own OpenAVC installation against simulated equipment, so no AV hardware is required.

Foundations

Eight lessons and a twelve-question quiz. Pass the quiz at 70% or better, with as many attempts as you need, and the Certificate of Completion is available on the course page. Foundations is a completion certificate, not a programmer certification.

Associate

Twenty lessons in four modules and eight checkpoints, building Huddle 101, a presentation and laptop-meeting space. Two assessments follow the lessons.

The practical. Submit your finished Huddle 101 project, including the camera-privacy feature you design yourself from a written specification. A reviewer opens your export in a clean OpenAVC instance, operates both panel pages against simulated equipment and checks every required outcome: startup and shutdown, source, volume and mute feedback, camera control, privacy across a restart and a reconnect, monitoring, and a clean import. The result is pass or needs revision, with specific feedback. A revised submission is reviewed again.

The scenario quiz. Thirty situations a programmer meets on the job, one correct answer each. Pass at 80% (24 of 30). You have three attempts and your highest grade counts. After each attempt you see your marks and which choices were correct; the answers themselves stay hidden.

Your certificate

When both assessments have passed, View certificate appears on the course page. The PDF names you, the qualification OpenAVC Certified Programmer, Associate, the issue date and a credential ID that identifies your award. You can also publish a share page for LinkedIn or your profile, and turn it off whenever you like.
