    It even comes with an 85-page workbook covering the material presented in the course as well as additional installation details, reference material and sponsor information. A comprehensive exam is supplied with the course to allow viewers (or employers) to measure comprehension.

    This video training course features industry experts Grayson Evans, Helen Heneveld and Mike Cogbill. The course is filmed in a "This Old House" style and starts with installation technique and tool training in a two-story framed house in the studio, then takes you through three complete residential retrofit wiring projects, each in a different house construction type.

    The course is divided into three parts:

    Part 1 — House Framing and Retrofit Planning
  • Identifying locations for distribution equipment and cable runs
  • Balloon vs. platform construction
  • Foundations, attics and wall framing
  • Systems in the walls; ductwork, plumbing, electrical

    Part 2 — Retrofit Installation Tool & Techniques
  • Demonstrations of specialized retrofit installation tools
  • Drill bits, shaft extensions, drill guides, fish rods and tapes
  • Exploratory tools, retriever tools and safety equipment
  • Proven retrofit installation techniques

    Part 3 — Actual Retrofit Projects
  • Three complete retrofit installations including infrastructure, A/V and security wiring
  • A wood-frame house in Michigan built in 1925
  • A wood-frame house in Texas built in 1945
  • A concrete-slab house in Arizona built in 1965

    The video training course is intended for professional residential installers who need a thorough knowledge of retrofitting techniques. The course assumes the viewer is familiar with, and has experience in, standard new construction installation techniques, planning, and tools. If you prefer a more "back to the basics" approach, we recommend Wiring Your Home for Voice, Data and Broadband RF Networks DVD Training Course.

    The video training course includes two VHS video tapes (3+ hours of video), an 85-page workbook, a comprehensive exam and an exam answer sheet and key.
