Certification Programs
In Partnership with ETA- I, ETA Uganda helps train, prepare, and test technicians
in the electronics, IT driven machining and appliance service industry.
The Certified Electronics Technician
(CET) Program, founded in 1965, is designed to measure the degree of
theoretical knowledge and technical proficiency of practicing technicians. The
voluntary certification concept enables employers to separate knowledgeable job
applicants from those with less training and skills.
The CET program also
protects consumers. In the absence of governmental licensing, the Certification
Program can help assure consumers that the person entrusted to service their
electronic products possesses the knowledge, the training and the experience
necessary to do a good job.
Since its inception,
The CET program has steadily increased in acceptance by technicians,
manufacturers, employers and by the consuming public. Many organizations, both
large and small, encourage and in some cases even require their technical
employees to be certified. Currently, over 50,000 persons are CETs worldwide.
ETA Uganda promotes
technical certification worldwide, and provides a place for certified
technicians to band together for professional advancement. ETA’s main function
is the direction and administration of the CET program. ETA members are
employed as technicians, educators, and in a number of other occupations
related to electronics servicing. Electronics technicians and Machine Operators
who have passed any of the CET exams are encouraged to apply for membership in
ETA, as well as any others that aspire to certification and have an interest in
electronics.
