Self-Study Wiring Program
 
Features
Everything you need to teach yourself VDV (voice, data & video) wiring installation.
Covers coax, Cat 3, 5, 5e & 6 cables
Tools for installing and testing data, voice and video cabling are specified and are available from VDV Academy Approved Vendors.
Preparation for SCA CCT Certification Exam

With our VDV Academy training programs, you can teach yourself all about communications wiring (or data/voice, low voltage or structured cabling - whatever you call it.) We know that many of you do not have time to take a cabling course, so we have developed this "VDV Academy Self-Study" course for you to take at home on your own schedule.

Get Started For Free!
The first part of this course is free ­ go online to "Uncle Ted's Guide" and read all about the basics of cabling. Be sure to follow the "virtual hands-on" program on installation practice.

Teach Yourself Cabling
When you're ready, you can purchase this Self-Study program which will provide you with a more detailed education in VDV installation.
In this self-study course, you will learn about the basics of cabling, similar to the material in classroom sessions. Each lesson will require you to read a section of training material, follow some PowerPoint tutorials, test your comprehension and check your answers.
After you complete the "classroom" course, you will develop skills in cable preparation, handling, termination and testing. For that, we specify a toolbox and the correct components to work with. You will "install" Cat 3 and Cat 5/5e/6 links and test them. All the necessary equipment and materials are available locally or from VDV Academy Approved Vendors.
