Information About the Certification
The CertTEC Entry Level Electronics (ELE) certification is a two-part certification. The first part is an online knowledge exam and the second part is an online performance exam. The knowledge exam focuses on basic terminology, component recognition, symbology, and schematic interpretation. The performance exam measures the ability to read, follow instructions, take measurements, and perform alignments. Measurement skill is determined by the ability to measure resistance, AC voltage, and DC voltage with a multimeter and to measure frequency and waveforms with an oscilloscope.
The ELE Certification demonstrates the applicant is prepared to enter an entry level electronic technician career field, ready to start working on day one.
