The Electrical Power Testing certification program is for technicians who test equipment used in the production, transmission, and distribution of electrical power. These technicians are engaged in inspection, testing, and periodic maintenance of electrical power equipment, and evaluation of such equipment for acceptance for service, continued serviceability, or required maintenance.
The various types of equipment that generate, transport, transform, store, route, and control electrical power together constitute an infrastructure that is vital to our way of life and our economic potential. Technicians who advance in this career field must have the skills and temperament to work with high-value equipment and consequential procedures; and must develop knowledge of complex power equipment, test equipment, and test procedures. At more advanced levels, they must develop an understanding of power systems and test procedures, and the ramifications of various actions or problems.
The Electrical Power Testing exam is delivered on a computer at Pearson Vue Testing Centers. Computer-based testing (CBT) allows NICET to extend several benefits to our customers: more flexible exam dates and appointment times; immediate scheduling and confirmation; and quicker exam scoring.
