RFID Journal announced today that it has partnered with RFID4U, a leading radio frequency identification training firm, to provide two educational courses for attendees at this year’s RFID Journal LIVE! 2015 conference and exhibition. One course is aimed to help individuals pass the International RFID Institute’s certification test, while the other is designed to teach how to build ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) RFID applications.
LIVE! 2015 will be held on Apr. 15-17, 2015, at the San Diego Convention Center, located in San Diego, Calif. The International RFID Institute was founded in 2012 to develop standardized certification examinations to promote professionalism in the radio frequency identification industry (see International RFID Institute Prepares Certification Program). The organization launched its beta exam last April at LIVE! 2014 (see A New RFID Certification), and this year, it will enable attendees to take the test and be certified at LIVE! 2015. RFID4U’s RFID Institute course will provide attendees with training designed to help them pass the certification exam.
The goal of the Fast-Track RFID Applications Developers Training course is to teach software application developers how to build the next generation of rich, interactive applications for passive UHF RFID readers and peripherals. Hands-on exercises provided throughout the instructor-led course are designed to offer students an opportunity to gain practical experience with the skills and concepts covered in the lectures. Participants will be provided with hands-on experience with the latest RFID devices and cutting-edge RFID labs.
“We’re very excited to be working with RFID4U again this year,” says Mark Roberti, RFID Journal’s founder and editor. “This is a great opportunity for attendees to get certified, which will benefit their career in RFID over the long term.”
LIVE! 2015 will also feature four industry-specific and four level-of-expertise conference tracks, as well as eight in-depth preconference seminars and workshops, four post-conference seminars, the RFID Journal Awards, the Coolest Demo Contest and two co-located events (the Internet of Things Conference and IEEE RFID 2015). In addition, the event will offer exhibits and demonstrations conducted by the industry’s leading technology firms. For more information, visit www.rfidjournalevents.com/live.
