Electronic Technicians Association (ETA) Certified Fiber Optic Technician Overview

ETA’s industry-based examinations are modeled after international competency standards. Each discipline utilizes its own group of educators and practitioners, plus wide industry reviews, to arrive at standards agreements. In 2003, the process was enlarged to add an all-industry review step in the process (NCEE). The standards clearly articulate the skills and knowledge relevant to the specific segments of the industry. Thus, ETA exams align with the curriculum for each discipline.

All ETA certifications measure competencies of persons, not products or companies.  They are non-vendor specific. Thousands of technicians have gained ETA certifications, including over 28,000 fiber optics installers and hundreds or thousands in each basic or specialty segment of electronics.
