It entails spending some cash and taking a 3 day course on THX, all their technologies, how and why they work etc....a lot of it is hands on calibration, testing etc...and a lot of it is theory and calculations ...people on the course range from home theater installers who want to learn how to do things a "better" way, manufacturing engineers from speaker and receiver companies, sales guys ...you name it ....

then you have to write a test and pass with a certain grade to become certified. Then you have to re-write the test every 2 years or so to keep your certification current and valid.
