may be barking up the wrong tree here. if i have to pay my money and go through training, then i don't see why you shouldn't. it's not that expensive and with the new version out you can't even install a system without being a dealer because the SD card will be blank and you can only get the software for the card through the dealer site and is restricted to the specific serial number. panasonic has a very affordable certification process as compared to the rest so go do it. they are having classes almost every week next year as the TD product is being dropped around Q3 next year.
