Detailed information about this program
Successful candidates must pass an exam or exams, complete a work history description that documents and meets specific industry related experience, successfully perform key role-specific activities, and obtain a personal recommendation (Levels III and IV). Once earned, certification must be maintained through Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and recertified every three years. The various types of equipment that generate, transport, transform, store, route, and control electrical power together constitute an infrastructure that is vital to our way of life and our economic potential. Technicians who advance in this career field must have the skills and temperament to work with high-value equipment and consequential procedures; and must develop knowledge of complex power equipment, test equipment, and test procedures. At more advanced levels, they must develop an understanding of power systems and test procedures, and the ramifications of various actions or problems. The Electrical Power Testing exam is delivered on a computer at Pearson Vue Testing Centers. Computer-based testing (CBT) allows NICET to extend several benefits to our customers: more flexible exam dates and appointment times; immediate scheduling and confirmation; and quicker exam scoring.
