Introducing Certified Next-Generation Smart Home Installer (NGSHI) Professional Program
This eight-week online learning program is for those who want to build a meaningful, profitable business.
Smart home devices improve many aspects of domestic life. The demand for this technology is only going to get greater as it becomes more mainstream. Prepare yourself now so you can be on top of this trend in the future.
The certified NGSHI professional program can fast-track your growth and save you years of expensive trial and error.
I’ve already helped thousands of entrepreneurs across the world. I’d be honored to work with you too.
WHAT IS AN NGSHI?
For some people, the following comes to mind when they hear the term smart home installer.
✔️ The TV installer
✔️ An electrician
✔️ The alarm company
✔️ Computer person
Of course, none of the above is an accurate representation of a smart home installer. The marketplace is evolving; creating demand for a new type of installer - NGSHIs.
Our definition of modern-day installers is eightfold:
- Anyone who professionally installs consumer smart devices.
- In return for a fee.
- Has a variety of skills and capable of installing multiple device types such as smart light bulbs, video doorbells, thermostats, security systems, garage doors, water leak detectors, and more!
- Focus is on small install projects that are repeatable and easy to deploy (more volume per week).
- Liaise with other parties – building contractors, electricians, HVAC contractors, architects, irrigation pros, and the homeowner.
- Make sure solutions fit with the client’s smart home needs.
- Provide a mix of virtual and on-site smart home services.
- Service provider – Not a retailer of black boxes
To summarize an NGSHI is basically, someone who can help homeowners implement various flavors of smart devices and ensure they all work together.

HUNDREDS OF STUDENTS HAVE GONE THROUGH THE MAKE A LIVING AS A SMART HOME INSTALLER COURSE, AND THEY LOVED IT!
Who’s teaching this program?
Hiya! I’m Gerard and creator of the world’s most popular smart home automation courses and books dating back to 1999.
If you decide to allow me to help with your smart home projects, you will be gaining the advantage of my experience.
I’m not smarter or cleverer, I just invest the hours and hours of effort to get numerous smart home brands installed and talking to each other. I also earned my stripes through running a smart home install company some years ago. Married to Olive and we have five kids, so a busy Smart Home!
You got Q's. I got A's.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.
This program was created especially for:
- Existing electrical contractors and security business owners who already have revenue coming in the door and a foundation to work with!
- Action takers and entrepreneurs who are ready to roll up their sleeves, upgrade their business + marketing skills and implement like crazy to implement my recommendations.
- DIY’ers who want to build a smart home install business on the side.
Please remember that in each module, we start with the basics and work up from there. Going through lessons and projects to help you build your skills and confidence, so you are always ready for the next step.
Let’s do some quick and easy math: Let’s also say you charge a customer $100 to professionally install a smart device, And for the sake of this exercise let’s say that an average customer requires your services to implment a five device smart home. You know that every customer that comes into your business or side hustle is worth (on average) $500. If you got just four clients a month with this method, that would be an extra $2,000 in new business! But that's not just it, people who start enjoying the benefits of smart homes will return for support and further installation services, further increasing your earnings potential.
The smart home is a high-growth sector. The demand for smart home installation installers far outstrips the supply of qualified professionals.
Tuition for the Certified NGSHI Professional Program is $997 with one payment. There will also be payment plans available for those that want to spread out the payments over three installments. This includes lifetime access to the program material.
Yes, Smart Homes School provides multi-use licenses that allow install and electrical contracting companies to provide course access to their employees. Many of our customers use the program as a basis for training newly recruited installers.
Most large organizations, and many smaller ones, will reimburse tuition for professional development.Let me know if you need help getting reimbursed by your employer (I can send you a template request)
You can start now or this weekend. While this challenge has been designed to be worked through a module by module. You might tackle a couple of modules in a single day or take your time with them and do just one or two a week. I have found, though, that the longer it takes to learn something, the less likely you are to finish it. So, for that reason, I do recommend you go through the program as quickly as fits in your busy schedule.
It completely depends on you! Successful graduates of the Certified NGSHI professional program are spending anywhere from two hours a week up to four hours. Please note that while weekly content will go live from Monday, you have the full week to work through it at any time that suits you.
Experience in the electrical, alarm, IT or HVAC industries would be advantageous.
Since your payment includes access to the course only Facebook Group, you can immediately jump in there to ask any questions. Furthermore, regular coaching calls are a great venue to directly ask Gerard any questions. And finally, the comments section underneath each video lecture provides another mechanism for asking questions.
The program is NOT for you if:
- You don't need a smart home program and you have time to teach yourself through trial and error.
- If you are expecting overnight results with very little effort or work involved this, is not for you.
- You understand the technical stuff and don't need "over-the-shoulder" walkthroughs.
- If you are not ready to start taking small steps to build your installation business today.
