How to Become a NETA Certified Technician

The path to becoming NETA certified involves a combination of employment, education, and examination. Unlike many certifications, you cannot simply take the NETA test; you must be employed by a NETA Accredited Company.

  1. Join a NETA Accredited Company - You must be employed by a member company (NAC) to be eligible for NETA certification.
  2. Complete Safety Training - Finish mandatory OSHA and electrical safety (NFPA 70E) training modules.
  3. Gain Field Experience - Work under supervision to accrue the required hours of field experience (e.g., 2 years for Level 2).
  4. Study NETA Standards - Master the NETA ATS and MTS specifications and electrical theory.
  5. Pass the NETA Exam - Register and pass the computer-based NETA test for your specific level.
  6. Maintain Certification - Complete continuing education (CTDs) and renew your certification every three years.
  7. Advance Levels - Continue gaining experience and knowledge to qualify for Level 3 and Level 4 exams.
