Certification or Licensing
Cryptographic technicians can become certified as broadcast technologists if they have two or more years of broadcast engineering or related technology experience and achieve a passing grade in the certification exam. The Society of Broadcast Engineers offers this and other broadcast engineer and technologist certification programs.
Other Requirements
Due to the secret nature of their work, cryptographic technicians often need government clearance, which involves a thorough investigation of the applicant's character and records for the previous 10 years. For obvious reasons, it is important for you to have a clean police record if you are interested in a career as a cryptographic technician. Someone who has been in trouble with the law will not meet the high standards of the background investigation.
