At Daktronics, our service team works with sign companies across the country. When we see issues with a digital sign that won’t power up, a misconfigured LED display, or a technician unsure about installation steps, we find that the root cause is often the same: a lack of formal training.
For years, technicians have had to learn on the job, figuring things out as they go. That approach leads to costly mistakes, incorrect parts orders, return visits, and frustrated customers. It also increases safety risks and liability for your business.

DST Certification helps your team:
