Certification, Licensing, and Special Requirements
Certification or Licensing
Some technicians become certified. Certification is a status granted by a technical or professional organization for the purpose of recognizing and documenting an individual’s abilities in their field. They may be certified in electrics or electronics engineering. The National Institute for Certification in Engineering Technologies offers certification in electrical power testing, https://www.nicet.org/certification-programs. ETA International offers certification in various electronics specializations, https://www.etai.org. And the International Society of Automation offers certification in control systems, https://www.isa.org. Robotics technicians do not need to be licensed.
