I would like to know if there are any certifications that I can get on the net. Money is not an issue. And if anyone knows if there is any classes in the Atlanta area.

I need to get some certifications under my belt. I see this as my future and my career. Thanks for any help.

experience is the only true cerification. anyone can tell you that. you can read something from a book all day but you realy dont know how it works untill you put it to use. go around to local shops and ask if they need any help on the weekends and learn all you can from the people that know how to do it. also research all different types of audio exuipment. from enclosures to crossovers and everything inbetween.

for true certification that is respected By all car audio shops nation wide go look into a MECP exam you can find them on the web for less then $100

This will help you drastically in learning and getting a job if that what you are looking for.

well as for the message i posted earlier if you wer eto pass that home study you would trully be mecp certified natonwide being that upon completion you will take the mecp installer level exan which will be reputible and if you dont read up on the test you will not pass it especially if you are new whith mobile electronics so if someone was new to the field needed a lot of info on basics and more and was not near a school then home study is nice as for taking the test by itself if he was niot ready to pass the test he would need the books for info which would be included as for mr i took that test and i am mecp certified so thats all i have to say thanks
