Certified System Integrator Program
LONMARK’s Professional Certification Program—comprised of the Certified Professional and Certified System Integrators—has provided a comprehensive professional education and testing program for manufacturers, integrators, and end users involved in the design, specification, integration, installation, or maintenance of LONMARK control networks.
The goal of the program is to create market recognition and demand for certified members of LONMARK International. The program also improves system integration practices and performance in anticipation of an increasing number of open specifications on frameworks requiring LONMARK Certified System Integrator credentials. The LONMARK Certified System Integrator designation is for companies that have on staff at least two LONMARK Certified Professionals (LCPs) and have also completed additional practical demonstration of LONWORKS technology abilities.
