CEA-CompTIA DHTI+ Exam : HT0-201 ExamDigital Home Technology Integrator Certification
CEA-CompTIA DHTI+ Examination Objectives
HT0-201
The CEA-CompTIA DHTI+ certification is a vendor neutral cross-industry credential providing
recognition that a home technology integration professional has attained a standard of excellence
in the integrated home networks industry. The CEA-CompTIA DHTI+ certification is based on a
set of standards designed to measure the mastery of important skills and knowledge necessary to
configure, integrate, maintain, troubleshoot, and comprehend basic design concepts of
electronic/digital home systems. In order to achieve the CEA-CompTIA DHTI+ certification, the
candidate must pass the Digital Home Technology Integrator certification exam HT0-201.
This exam targets individuals in the multiple industries that touch the home, including technology
integrators, security system technicians, cable, satellite, telecommunications, and A/V installers,
electricians, and network administrators. Individuals with the ability to install/connect one or more
residential subsystems but cannot troubleshoot and/or configure without significant aid of
technical support are prime candidates for this certification. Individuals with a strong background
in a single discipline wishing to expand their expertise are also very good candidates for this
certification. CompTIA recommends individuals have 18-24 months experience in the home
integration industry.
The CEA-CompTIA DHTI+ certification exam assumes candidates possess the skills and
knowledge of basic PC hardware, hand and tool skills, safety precautions, basic electrical
awareness, local regulations and building codes. This certification is not intended to provide
basic installation skills such as wire termination and basic hand/tool skills. This certification is not
intended to provide project management, sales, or master system design skills.
The skills and knowledge measured by this examination are derived from a job task analysis with
emphasis on North America and Europe. A publicly available worldwide survey supplemented
the job task analysis.
Note: This examination blueprint for the CEA-CompTIA DHTI+ examination includes weighting,
test objectives, and example content. Example topics and concepts are included to clarify the
test objectives and should not be construed as a comprehensive listing of all the content covered
by this examination. This blueprint may undergo additional minor modifications during the test
development phase.
