CET Networking Education has honored Dave Sanders, director of national accounts for Leviton's Voice & Data Division, with its 2003 RCDD Instructor of the Year Award and Certificate of Excellence.
The award recognizes an individual's commitment to education in the telecommunications industry.
CET Networking is an instructional facility approved by BICSI, based in Tampa, FL. CET specializes in prepping students to pass the rigorous RCDD/LAN/OSP exams administered by BICSI, and provides instruction and coaching by certified instructors.
Sanders, who is RCDD/LAN/OSP certified, has among the highest pass-rates in the field and believes success has nothing to do with the difficulty or ease of the curriculum. Sanders is one of 37 people in the world to achieve RCDD, LAN and OSP certifications, also known as the "BICSI Triple Crown." He was previously district sales manager for the division's West Coast region and resides in Elk Grove, CA.
"The students' pass rate is a combination of how strongly I feel about the value of these accreditations, as well as the interest level and motivation the students bring to the class," he says.
Leviton, based in Bothell, WA, shares Sanders' vision of providing knowledge and resources to contractors to ensure proper installation of its own products.
"Credibility and involvement by an industry leader validates a manufacturer's commitment to its customers and installers," Sanders says. "RCDD certification complements the company's products installed, as well as the craftsmanship of the installation."
BICSI is a professional, not-for-profit telecommunications association that serves nearly
25,000 members and installers in more than 90 countries around the world. For more information visit www.bicsi.org.
