How do I become a UnivoxAudio Accredited Partner?
To become an accredited partner you will need to complete our accredited partner 2 step programme. ( Not applicable if you are an ISCE registered AFILS assessor—see below)
- Step 1 - You will need to successfully complete our 1 day installer training course
- Step 2 - You will have a period of 9 months from the date of attending our installer training course to complete your first Univox® induction loop installation. During this time you will:
- Have full access to the new Univox® loop design software—’Designaloop’
- Receive a generous discount on all UnivoxAudio retail prices
At the end of the 9 month period we will carry out an inspection of your installation. If your installation is approved you will receive accredited partner status.
I am an ISCE registered AFILS assessor. Am I still expected to attend the UnivoxAudio course ?
No. The ISCE AFILS assessor scheme is a well recognised professional accreditation. If you are an ISCE registered AFILS assessor you will only need to meet with us for a personal
introduction to ’Designaloop’- loop design software, and allow us to carry out an
inspection of one of your induction loop installations made with Univox® Equipment. If your installation is approved you will receive accredited partner status.
How do I maintain my Accredited Partner Status?
Part of the accredited partner programme includes an annual partner meeting. (Applicable also to ISCE registered AFILS assessors ) This includes
- A review of the partnership and the development of strategies for business growth
- Advice and help on any technical matters
- Exploring ways to support you further
- Addressing any issues important to you
- Details from you of 3 customer approved induction loop installations, made within the preceding 12 months
- Inspection of one of your 3 customer approved induction loop installations by us on the day
This is an on going process designed to help you get the most from our partnership as well as maintain your accredited status.
