mecp certificate

i would like to know how to obtain this ticket (class 1) for now, i have been installing for a while know and found out i need to get it to be able to upgrade my abilities.

And.......P.S.    it really doesn't matter.......K

I have 20+ years, and I won't pay for the classification, or the ranking of MECP.

What harm does a certificate( a piece of paper) from the Consumer Electronics Assocoation's MECP have?    Why Bash MECP??   We have all seen a new installer who is Basic MECP certified with no experience, who does not know which end of a wrench to use.  The basic test is just that basic, beginner, novice and it doen't included a hands on test... Unfortunately there is no standardized test for common sense.  There are Advanced and Master tests in MECP  that require experience and  have questions that only a veteran installer would know.  Don't get me wrong,  I would much rather have an experienced installer with no cert than one with only a basic cert and no experience. But why not strive for excellence and have both.  I belive it is more a personal acheivement than a rubber stamp on who is good installer. I learn something new almost everyday and sometimes that comes from reading or studying a new feature or vehicle design. 

YES I am a MECP basic installer, installing for 6 years, took the test last year 98%,  planning on taking the Advanced MECP this year for my own challenge and satisfaction..   Good Luck

We dont need no stinkin test......
