Is this certification in this site legit? i know it doesn't deal directly with mobile electronics but it's electronics nonetheless. And i want to be well rounded in all electronics and be able to also get at least entry level positions in other fields if i so choose to. The have a lot like residential wiring certification. home theater, security and alarms, etc. I'm just wondering if this stuff is legit and employers recognize it. Also if anyone on here has tried it. I'm considering ordering a study guide but well i'll see if you guys have don it at all first.

Thanks a lot to all who reply.

very legit certification is for laser and fiber optic repair and maintenance mainly. Not much to do with this industry, unless you worked in research and development

For this industry the only nationally recognized certification program is MECP through the EIA. You can go to the website for info to order a study guide and where to take the test.

Passing will not mean you are a professional installer per say, that takes alot of experience, but it will help you get a job and some places require it. (also a possible pay increase)

Now what the test will do is prepare you on proper install methods, safety, terminology as well as realys, diodes, resistors, basic ohms law and proper use of a DMM, which after reading your signature you appear to realize it's importance, audio theory, security basics and navigation.

Yeah i've currently got my Bronze level installer certification. And i realize i'm no better than anyone else because of it. I'm just looking to get various types of certification so that i can do other aspects of electronics such as, computers, cable installers, Home wiring, etc. Basically i want to have my options open and be eligible to at least get entry level positions with decent pay in other fields of electronics.
