BICSI is a professional association supporting the information transport systems (ITS) industry with information, education and knowledge assessment for individuals and companies. BICSI serves more than 24,000 ITS professionals, including designers, installers and technicians. These individuals provide the fundamental infrastructure for telecommunications, audio/video, life safety and automation systems. Through courses, conferences, publications and professional registration programs, BICSI staff and volunteers assist ITS professionals in delivering critical products and services, and offer opportunities for continual improvement and enhanced professional stature.

Information transport systems (ITS) professionals pursuing excellence within the industry should consider becoming a Registered Communications Distribution Designer (RCDD).

Those awarded with the RCDD designation have demonstrated their knowledge in the design, implementation and integration of information transport systems and related infrastructure.

BICSI telecommunications distribution design courses serve as a career path for those seeking advanced knowledge in this area. Several design courses are recommended for candidates preparing to take the RCDD examination.

The RCDD status conveys instant advantages over the competition:
• A professional designation of excellence
• A highly regarded status recognized and mandated by many private and state organizations
• A noted mark of design knowledge valued internationally
• An indication of experience and knowledge known throughout the ITS industry
Individuals with a minimum of two years of experience in distribution design are urged to apply to sit for the RCDD exam. Those passing the exam earn and can advertise the RCDD designation, valid for three calendar years, through completion of continuing education requirements. The RCDD qualification may be extended for additional three-year periods, through completion of continuing education requirements.
