| Why Hire a Registered Communications Distribution Designer (RCDD)?
An RCDD is a Registered Communications Distribution Designer who has attained the status of exceptional excellence in the field. The RCDD designation is recognized industry-wide as indicating superior design expertise.
BICSI is a professional not-for-profit telecommuni-cations association, founded in 1974 to serve the telephone company building industry consultants (BICs). BICs were responsible for the design and distribution of telecommunications wiring for commercial and multi-family buildings. BICSI has become a worldwide association with more than 12,000 members. Our programs and interests cover the broad spectrum of the voice, data, and video technologies. BICSI offers courses, conferences, publications, and registration programs for telecommuni-cations cabling distribution designers and installers. When you hire a Registered Communications Distribu- tion Designer (RCDD), you immediately add a unique level of knowledge to your organization.
RCDDs have demonstrated a wide range of knowledge.
Every RCDD professional has successfully completed and passed an extensive examination on the fundamentals of telecommu- nications distribution design. They exhibit innovation, advanced techniques, and long-term thinking.
The BICSI RCDD program is the standard of the industry.
The cornerstone of the RCDD program is the BICSI Telecommunications Distribution Methods Manual. This publication contains more than 1,500 pages of information relating to low voltage wiring. As updates occur, they are added to the manual, assuring that the RCDD is fully informed on new developments and changes.
RCDDs must complete a structured program of continuing education.
RCDD registration renewal is required every three years. A continuing education agenda requires all active RCDDs to participate as a prerequisite to understanding and meeting all current renewal specifications.
RCDDs have ready access to telecommunications resources.
Through membership in BICSI, RCDDs have the capability of accessing more than 12,000 telecom professionals in all facets of the industry. This capability is distinguished by the wide choice of directions and alternatives it affords both the RCDD and the employer of the RCDD. RCDDs are often noted for the aggressive interest and active participation in the industry of their choice, the telecom industry.
RCDDs have access to a steady flow of professional, technical, and industry information.
Active RCDDs have continuous access to the latest information in the telecommunications design industry. By virtue of the status of active RCDD, the professional you hire knows their way around the maze of the ever-changing world of industry codes and regulations. Changes, updates, and revisions in telecom industry standards are known to render programs, projects, and objectives obsolete. Armed with knowledge and information, your RCDD can minimize these impacts.
BICSI provides a wide range of training courses. Professional training for telecommunications professionals is the objective of BICSI's courses. Every accredited, active RCDD has direct access to more than 100 training courses and seminars, including: Distribution Design, Wireless Networks, Fiber Optic Design, Grounding and Protection, Project Management, and more. A full curriculum is offered on each specialized subject.
RCDD professionals are often required.
The RCDD registration is recognized and mandated by many private and government entities. More and more projects require that bids be submitted by an RCDD.
