ETCP Certification is a fundamental aide to employers who are looking for qualified technicians for lead positions. It guarantees a reliable level of expertise and skills because the exams are specific to this industry and a fair assessment of your knowledge.
There are a few ways you can be tested to receive certification. All three exams are available for computer based-testing and a candidate can make arrangements to take the exam at one of 190 testing centres around the U.S and in Canada. ETCP will be offering all three examinations in one session at LDI 2014 on 22 November, 2014. The application deadline for the LDI exam will be 30 October, 2014. You can also encourage your organization or local to host a paper and pencil exam.
Questions concerning certification and testing may be directed to Meredith Moseley-Bennett, Certification Manager at etcp@plasa.org or 212.244.1505, ext. 705.
