The LonMark Certified Professional Test is steadily gaining ground since the first test was offered at AHR 2007 in Dallas, Texas. Coupled with the strength and influence of the LonMark Sessions educational tour, which is still underway in Europe, the testing program has so far produced over 80 certified LonMark professionals.

In addition to offering the test at the permanent testing centers worldwide, LonMark International also offers the test at various temporary testing centers in conjunction with events such as LonWorld in Amsterdam on November 14-15, and AHR Expo in New York on January 22-24, 2008. The test is currently offered in English and German.

The test targets individuals who install, integrate and maintain systems utilizing LonMark certified products for the purpose of aiding the controls and automation industries continue the transition from proprietary to open, integrated systems.

Certification brings with it significant advantages as it represents a guarantee to the customer of the best possible LON solution and the most qualified people working on the project. Certification also ensures professionals are up to date on the latest “best practices” available.

LonMark Certified Professionals are the recognized experts.
