Satellite Internet Forum

I have been trying to decide if I should pursue Direcway or Wildblue (installer training) certification.
DSI, a major wildblue distributor, has a schedule of classes posted on their website. Yet my request for info
seem to fall on deaf ears. I guess my decision is made...

Contact your nearby electricity cooperatives and talk to
someone - ask if you can join one of their satellite internet
installer certification courses.

gman I have had the same problem. I Have even gone as far as talking to someone at DSI that said to email him the info for myself and the several installers that I have here to get training (there currently isn't anyone in my area doing wild blue). I Was assured that I would be getting the info to begin training immeaditly but I never heard back after that call. If anyone knows who to talk to at WB or DSI or whoever to get certified please let me know.

You have to call DSI and tell them you want to enroll in a Wildblue class before they will tell you anything. It's even harder to get in to a Direcway (Hughes Net) class, then you have cert. on their different dishes and modems later on the internet.

As for your Hughes Cert get a hold of Perfect 10 or a local dealer they can help with training class schedules. Wild Blue tech's are going to be in demand this summer as DTV rolls out their Wild Blue promo, same as Dish, and ATT did last year. No way the in-house guys can handle this work load, nor should they. Heck they have a hard enough time with a basic install for TV....
