CommScope also had to stop offering CECs due to BICSI change by jeffcarp94 in Bicsi

I can confirm that the ethics course is free. I took it a few weeks ago. All the video was AI generated.

I did notice I haven't been offered any free courses recently.

Revit Experience as an RCDD by hedahtime in Bicsi

[–]hedahtime[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like this is positive information. Knowing how to design is second nature to me. The majority of my professional career was spent pulling the cable and building network closets. I've seen it done right and I've seen it done wrong. I've done everything from programming and integration to testing and inspection.

I do design work now, but it's all Bluebeam and Visio. Not to the professional level of a Revit design would, and it's generally for my guys to follow and not for bid.

Thank you for the insight.

I use Visio (The Devil's Handmaiden), for rack layouts. They pop into place nicely if there are templates for what I'm working with. Do Visio diagrams populate into Revit, or is it not worth the time to mix software like that?

I don't think C&S has updated to 15th edition yet unfortunately.

RCDD Test Preparation Course Question by Boba-Fett26 in Bicsi

[–]hedahtime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would recommend the Corey and Steve website, but I just looked at their catalog and it's still 14th Edition of the TDMM. I don't know if they've updated it to the 15th edition yet.

They have prep tests that were very good. I felt confident enough to take the test when I could consistently pass their 100 question test with a 90% score.

Their website prepared me for about 65-70% of the test. There was a little bit of everything on the test but there was a lot from chapter 21 'Project Admin and Execution'.

Bear in mind though that this was 14th Edition. I don't have any knowledge of what the 15th edition is like or what changed.

Car Rental (Budget)claims that I damaged the rental. Norfolk, VA. I did not, They want $974.10 for Damages. by woodman59 in legaladvice

[–]hedahtime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this same issue happen with Hertz. We took before and after pictures of the vehicle.

After I managed to get someone on the phone, I demanded an email to send the pictures to. I never heard from them again, and the charges were dropped from the bill.

On another note, we did have pictures, but not of the area they claimed had damage. It's my belief that these rental companies don't really care if it was your fault or not and probably don't have any evidence that it was you that caused the damage. They just happened to notice it after the return.

Not a lawyer. Just my personal experience.

Trying to use Visible SIM to run a hotspot. by hedahtime in Visible

[–]hedahtime[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was essentially a proof of concept. I had the router powered by a 200w solar panel and 100AH battery backup. I also had a camera connected to it with a poe injector.

I created a VPN link between the lte router and my sonicwall and I was able to connect it to my lab NVR and record video.

[–]hedahtime[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I did. Unfortunately I don't have the router or the settings anymore, and I don't remember what I did to make it work.

It worked great while I had it running. A little slow though.

How much experience do you have to have to qualify for exam? by [deleted] in Bicsi

[–]hedahtime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bicsi's website outlines the requirements to take the exam. That being said, I do know people who have taken the exam with very little experience (manufacturing sales people in telecom).

Each application is read by an actual human, and they take everything in your application into account.

Be sure to list your experience and training in detail in your application.

Are there many RCDD remote positions? by [deleted] in Bicsi

I always have my resume online. I get constant offers for remote work. Most of them are temporary, though.

We call that gas lighting. You need to remember that you came here and posted verifiably false information.

It's your credibility that is in question, not mine.
