The Registered Digital Installer Licensing Body has been officially granted institute status.
The organisation has been closely involved with the move from analogue to digital switchover in the UK and is now preparing to take on a broader role within the digital sector.
The Institute has created a new quality control system that makes it accessible to a broad range of reputable, qualified and experienced members.
This incorporates industry leading measures and a pathway of future skills development. Current existing RDI installers who have been closely involved with the UK’s digital switchover programme will become the first to gain access to the Institute from its launch in September.
“The RDI is delighted and proud to have become an Institute and is focused upon providing high level representation for both installers and digital companies. It is great news for our fast developing membership and also for professionals within the broader digital environment,” said RDI CEO Martin Smith. “The Institute title sends out the right message to consumers, government and influencers within one of the economy’s fastest growing sectors and finally we have the right professional UK body for the digital installation sector.”
The Institute is also actively engaged in developing a broader product and service evaluation role where in 2013 its blue ‘digital tick’ mark will independently benchmark professional equipment and services.
