About ETA
History
ETA International (Electronics Technicians Association, International) founded in 1978, is a not-for-profit, professional association promoting excellence in electronics technologies through certification.

The associations initiatives are to provide prominent certification programs of competency criteria and testing benchmarks that include international electronics standards and provide renowned professional electronics credentials.

The organization began with leaders, such as Richard Dick Glass, CETsr, Ron Crow, CETma, D.C. Snow Larson, CET and others who had earned much respect in the electronics industry. In the late 1970s, the founders decided never to affiliate too closely with any manufacturer. ETA was to be truly a group of technicians by technicians for technicians. Today, ETA is a strong and well known organization with nearly 6,000 members and over 179,000 certifications processed to date. ETAs focus is to help new and upcoming technicians and the technical schools they attend achieve their career goals. Although certification, specifically, was not a primary goal, it occurred naturally as ETA grew. As a non-vendor specific, independent third party certifying organization, ETA receives inquiries each month from schools asking for assistance in either recommending and/or certifying curriculums or texts. In addition, the US Military, through their individual education offices, has an agreement with ETA for both CET and FCC Commercial License testing at all U. S. Military facilities worldwide. ETA is not only strong in the certification field, but it provides many other services for technicians and electronics service firms. ETA has participated in governmental law and rule-making by commenting on behalf of technicians regarding pending local, state, or national actions of governments. The association works closely with other organizations such as the National Association of Radio and Telecommunications Engineers (NARTE), National Technical Honor Society (NTHS), Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), American Society of Certified Engineering Technicians (ASCET) as well as several other local, state, national and international groups.

CERTIFIED SERVICE CENTER

While ETA membership is also available to service dealerships and other institutions, the typical member is an electronics technician. By having a membership composed of technicians from every conceivable area of electronics, communications and networking technology, the interchange of information and the broad viewpoint members are exposed to creates a unique and valuable entity. ETA is not just an association that collects your dues then issues an occasional report. Hundreds of members have taken an active role in the association by participating as area representatives, becoming certification administrators, writing for the publications and journals or by teaching a class at seminars and conventions. It is a brotherhood of technicians who love their jobs and see ETA as the adhesive that binds real professional technicians together for the greater good.

State Representatives:

ETA has both state and national representatives who represent ETA within the community when needed. We are always looking for new members to apply. Holding the title of state and/or national representative includes many duties. Upon applying and becoming approved, you might be asked to: Contact ETA with any local developments reported by the industry or in the education of electronics related fields. Offer clarification, when a situation arises in the area, and we need further details; for example, a licensing requirement or change. Reach out to local schools or businesses with ETA material. Visit a school or business which has shown interest in ETA. Be available to attend a show or event, including a career day or job fair, if we are unable to send someone from the ETA home office. Contact local industry or workforce development boards with ETA information. Submit articles related to activities in your area for ETAs publication, The High-Tech News. Any other tasks that help promote ETA within the industries we serve.

About ETA
Certification Programs
Career/Workforce Development: ETA offers many stand-alone certifications that do not require a formal course of study or other training prerequisites, including Telecommunications (TCM), Computer Service Technician (CST) and Certified Alarm-Security Technician (CAST). Most certifications are gained at the conclusion of an educational course and examination. There are some programs that include a hands-on component and require skills documentation such as the Fiber Optics and Data Cabling certification programs. (When skills verification is involved, successful completion of an educational course through an ETA-approved school is required.) While most certifications are voluntary, some jobs require the worker to hold a specific certification (2-way communications, fiber, satellite, cell-sites, etc.). ETA certifications are widely recognized and frequently used in employer job selections, hiring processes and pay scale, or for promotions/advancements. Usefulness by Schools: ETA programs are widely used by individual states to allow verified credits to students. The entire C.E.T. program is easily implemented at no cost in secondary, post secondary and commercial technical schools. Course Approvals: Many educational facilities are required to prove that the training programs offered are both beneficial to students and worth the additional costs. They want proof that the time and money spent in learning this profession will pay off with a good career upon graduation or completion of the course. ETA provides 3rd party reviews that many schools require of electronics courses, evaluating the instructor credentials, lab and classroom equipment, course outlines, etc. The reviews have been used by all levels of education, both public and commercial, as well as military.

Training and Study Guides: ETA aligns with individual professional goals, vocational and education curriculums, and businesses resource initiatives through certification programs, conferences, speaking engagements, books and journal publications.

Global Skills X-Changes (formerly National Skills Standards Board) feasibility study concluded the ETA program was among the best industry certification programs available.

ETA actively supports training and education through the development of study guides, technical monographs, and seminars, as well as working with a large number of ETA approved schools and courses. ETA works with high schools, vocational schools, colleges, universities, educators, corporate trainers, correctional facilities and electronics industry professionals to find proper and sufficient training resources in their area. Memberships: Association membership is voluntary; a fundamental premise of ETAs member eligibility requirements that sets us apart from most certification associations. Members receive benefits such as The High-Tech News (ETAs bi-monthly publication), communication with peers through regular Members Only technical access message boards and forums and discounts on various industry publications, conferences, and events. Accessibility: ETA exams are available at approximately 1,000 educational institutions, all U.S. Military base education offices worldwide and several penal institutions. Most can be taken online via ETAs Trapeza online testing website. Examinations are routinely scheduled with an ETA Certification Administrator, but if one is not close to the examinee, then a library may be used. Eligibility: ETA examinations and certifications are not restricted to existing electronics technicians. They are open to all individuals regardless of career field, training, education or experience. ETA certification programs are non-discriminatory, objective and reasonably priced. Portability: ETAs certifications are personal and travel with the certification holder wherever they may be employed. ETA tested nearly 12,000 technicians in 2012. Currently, 692 Subject Matter Experts (SME) serve on various Certification Advisory Committees. ETA has its own Board of Directors and approximately 1000 Certification Administrators (CA) around the world.

About ETA
An ETA certification signifies that the holder demonstrates professional proficiency within their discipline. They are recognized as having the necessary knowledge and technical skill to design, install, service or repair electronic equipment according to industry standards; not specific to a manufacturer, vendor or product. All ETA certifications measure the competencies of the person; not products or companies. Thousands of technicians have gained ETA certifications in basic or specialty segments of electronics; for example 47,000+ professionals have completed our fiber optics certifications. The CET (Certified Electronics Technician) program is one of the most widely recognized certification programs in the industry. Other specialty assessments have varying degrees of industry visibility, but all are linked to ETAs long-standing position in the electronics industry.

Industry Recognized Standards

Effectiveness of ETA Certification: Since 1965, the program has been proven effective. Aligning closely with the ISO 17024 standard, and collaborating with education providers and industry professionals, ETA provides the criteria which tests the knowledge and/or hands-on skills needed in todays electronics industries. However, ETA constantly seeks information from employers, schools and individuals verifying the validity and current relevance of its assessments. Accreditation: ETAs industry-based examinations are modeled after international competency standards. Each discipline utilizes its own group of educators and practitioners, plus industry-wide reviews, to arrive at the necessary standards. In 2003, the process was enlarged to add an all-industry review step in the process (National Coalition for Electronics Education, NCEE). The standards clearly articulate the skills and knowledge relevant to specific segments of the industry. ETA is a member of the International Certification Accreditation Council (ICAC), which audits ETAs programs and processes every five years for accreditation. Input Standards: ETAs exam advisory boards, specific for each certification, are composed of Subject Matter Experts (SME) who are demographically and educationally diverse with a broad range of experience. ETAs 3-step process for evolving competencies is now used by the allindustry NCEE in arriving at curricula and competency standards. Task analysis by educators, employers and practitioners is an important part of the process of developing industry-based competencies, upon which the certification exams are based. Both internal and external judgements are included in development. Quality Control: ETAs panels of experts are second to none. Strong educator input by committees of Subject Matter Experts (SME), reviews by the ETA Advisory Board, multiple national associations, and technicians currently working in the field provide a level of review unprecedented in the electronics industry. Educators, practitioners, students and employers have subjected ETAs assessments to critical scrutiny. Reliability, Validity and Consistency are a hallmark of ETA certifications. Audits: ETA examinations are reviewed for updating each year. Review: All exam pools are input to the ETA computer-based testing program, which is then used by the SMEs, who review all questions. In addition, ETAs staff has multiple graphics and proofreading experts handling each of its technical assessments. Privacy: ETA examination scores and personal information are not divulged to employers or co-workers. Weighting of Exams Questions: Weighting of exam questions is not viewed as relevant for technical workers since a seemingly insignificant competency may well be as important to safety or proper service as one that appears to be much more exotic. (e.g.: Oscilloscope operation vs. replacing a fuse.)

ETA Certifications
BASIC/ENTRY LEVEL ELECTRONICS
Student Electronics Technician SET $30.00 The SET allows high school students and entry-level technicians the opportunity to earn a basic beginners certification. The examination covers a variety of topics including: Electrical Theory; Electronic Components; Soldering-Desoldering and Tools; Block Diagrams-SchematicsWiring Diagrams; Cabling; Power Supplies; Test Equipment and Measurements; Safety Precautions; Mathematics and Formulas; Electronic Circuits; Series and Parallel; Amplifiers; Interfacing of Electronics Products, Digital Concepts and Circuitry; Computer Electronics; Computer Applications; Audio & Video Systems; Optical Electronics; Basic Telecommunications; and Technician Work Procedures. The SET also has an optional Hands-On component that can be used as a part of the training process and will be noted upon completion and passing of the SET examination. Apprentice Electronics Technician APP $60.00 The telecommunication Apprentice certification program (APP) is designed to only measure the knowledge of basic direct and alternating current theory as well as basic technical mathematics necessary to begin a training program in this field. Knowledge of cabling, power supplies, test equipment, as well as safety are also measured. This program is primarily targeted towards those who wish to pursue a technical career in the telecommunications industry and want to demonstrate their ability and knowledge to benefit from an in-company or company sponsored technical training program. (This exam does not replace the Associate Certified Electronics Technician (CETa) certification.) Electronics Modules Standalone Option EM1-5 $25.00 ea. The EM5 program is based on ETAs Associate level certification, in which the AST Competencies have been divided into five sections called modules. The purpose of this is to align with a growing portion of the electronics education industry that is charged with providing electronics training that does not include the total content of traditional Basic Electronics courses. In some instances, technical institutions are asked to provide training in only certain portions of electronics. This is so that companies that need only narrower skills and knowledge (than one expects of a complete Associate CET) can employ workers who have required knowledge and skills for only the technology and processes they currently use at that company. To provide a path for the technician leading to the Associate CET credential (CETa), the five BASIC modules of the AST can be acquired individually. Once a technician attains all five module certifications, ETA will issue an official Associate (AST) certification (all five must be passed within a two-year period). The technician may also choose to gain only those modules needed in order to be employable. The five basic Electronics Modules are: DC AC Analog Digital Comprehensive Associate Certified Electronics Technician CETa $60.00 -Associate exam FREE if taken with a Journeyman exam at the same time. The Associate certification is designed for technicians who have less than two years experience or trade school training for electronics technicians. The Associate certification is valid for 4 years. It is also the foundation for the Journeyman certification program. The CETa is a more in-depth examination expanding on all of the topics listed within the Student Electronics Technician description. The Associate CET is now a renewable certification.

The Associate Electronics Technician also has an optional Hands-On component that can be used as a part of the training process.

Passive Intermodulation Testing Stand-Alone PIM $125.00 Passive Intermodulation (PIM) is a form of interference where intermodulation mixing occurs within the confines of the transmission line and antenna network of a radio system. On multi-channel or broadband radio systems, the intermodulation products can and do cause the transmitter downlink energy to mix and come back into the system on the receive uplink frequencies and degrade system performance at the site. If the PIM is high, the radio coverage can be seriously degraded. Testing the antenna system during construction reduces the possibility of PIM and becomes the final quality check for antenna construction and operation at the site. Experience has proven antenna systems that cannot pass the PIM test will never have the range from that site that the engineers have designed for that site to operate with. The ETA PIM course and certification assures site managers that quality antenna installation has taken place and meets the desired engineering and propagation standard for that site, the PIM test set operator knows how to use the testing equipment hardware, and can do so in a safe and harmless manner. Additionally, the ETA certification is based on the IEC 60237 standard covering the installation of antennas, connectors, jumpers and related antenna network elements, allowing the holder of that certification to use any manufacturers test set at any frequency range. An ETA certified technician has a clear understanding of antenna theory and interference testing and will be well positioned to help resolve site PIM issues, so resolving these interference issues will be easier for the ETA certified technician.
