NETA ACCREDITATION

Technical Diagnostic Services Training Institute, a division of Technical Diagnostic Services, is certified by the InterNational Electrical Testing Association (NETA), an accredited standards developer for the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and defines the standards by which electrical equipment is deemed safe and reliable.

Important note: Training institutes and equipment manufacturers often advertise “certification” in specific areas. No matter what the promotional literature may say, these programs provide certificates of completion and not a true certification of competency. Such “certifications” do not meet the government’s definition of a qualified certification. For a technician to be truly certified, this person must meet criteria concerning work history, and education in addition to successfully completing an independently proctored examination. Most training companies offering “certification” only verify that they have observed a person performing a task and that the instructor has given an exam. A one-week training program cannot provide the experience needed for competency — that takes years of field experience.
