RCDD's have demonstrated a wide range of knowledge.
Every RCDD professional has successfully completed and passed an
extensive examination on the fundamentals of telecommunications
distribution design.
2.
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. Every RCDD is
encouraged to be familiar with the contents of the manual.
3.
RCDD's exemplify professional conduct and integrity.
Professional conduct and integrity of work completed mark the RCDD
expert. A relationship of trust and honor is established with you
and your RCDD. The BICSI RCDD program is designed with integrity in
mind. All RCDD professionals are expected to exemplify these
principles.
4.
RCDD's must complete a structured program of continuing education.
RCDD registration renewal is required every three years. A
continuing education agenda requires all active RCDD's to
participate as a prerequisite to understanding and meeting all
current renewal specifications. RCDD's must confirm to you that
their registration is current and in keeping with all of the
requirements set forth by BICSI.

Through membership in BICSI, RCDD's have the capability of accessing

employer of the RCDD.

the telecommunications design industry. By virtue of the status of
active RCDD, the professional you hire knows the way around the maze
of the ever-changing world of industry codes and regulations.

BICSI conferences and workshops are co-sponsored by major
universities and leading corporations. Rapidly changing technology,
new products, and the effects of critical issues and challenges
constitute the primary focus of the BICSI conferences. Active RCDD's
attend these conferences and, as a result, they can offer
leading-edge capabilities to those who hire them.
