Certified KNX Basic course

A KNX Basic Course is the first essential step for anyone who wants to understand how modern home and building automation works. This training builds a strong foundation in KNX installation, programming, and system design, helping learners create functional automation solutions for residential and commercial spaces.

The course focuses on practical skill development, ensuring you work directly with KNX devices, wiring, configuration tools, and ETS software. Each concept is taught through real tasks that reflect how KNX operates in everyday projects. Guidance from experienced trainers helps you apply KNX principles accurately and understand why each step matters.

By the end of this training, you will clearly understand KNX topology, communication methods, device behavior, and system architecture. You will also know how to program KNX devices using ETS, enabling you to design or support automation systems based on client or project requirements.

As global demand for connected, efficient, and automated buildings increases, KNX skills create a strong pathway for individuals working in electrical systems, automation, integration, or building technologies. Completing the KNX Basic Course qualifies you for official KNX Partner Certification, which includes being listed on the KNX partner directory.
