Electronics Technicians Association
The Electronics Technicians Association, International (ETA® International) is a not-for-profit professional association that was founded in 1978. It was started by electronics technicians who felt the need for a group that would be independent of any industry influences on its technicians. The purpose of the association is to provide recognized professional credentials as a testament to an individual’s skills and knowledge in a particular area of study. ETA offers over 80 certifications including: Electronics, Fiber Optics and Data Cabling, Renewable Energy, Computers, Customer Service, Satellite, Biomedical, Avionics, Alarm-Security, Wireless Communications, RADAR, Audio/Video Distribution, and SmartHome. ETA is also one of 12 COLEMs for U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) testing. All certifications are accredited by the International Certification Accreditation Council (ICAC) and align with the ISO-17024 standards.
Today, ETA has issued over 115,000 certifications. These certified individuals are employed by more than 1,000 businesses/organizations across the world. The association is has over 5,000 members, 700 Subject Matter Experts (SME’s) serving on various Industry Advisory Committees and 1,000 Exam/Certification Administrators (CA’s).

Famous quotes containing the words electronics, technicians and/or association:
“We live in a highly industrialized society and every member of the Black nation must be as academically and technologically developed as possible. To wage a revolution, we need competent teachers, doctors, nurses, electronics experts, chemists, biologists, physicists, political scientists, and so on and so forth. Black women sitting at home reading bedtime stories to their children are just not going to make it.”
—Frances Beale, African American feminist and civil rights activist. The Black Woman, ch. 14 (1970)
“Great speeches have always had great soundbites. The problem now is that the young technicians who put together speeches are paying attention only to the soundbite, not to the text as a whole, not realizing that all great soundbites happen by accident, which is to say, all great soundbites are yielded up inevitably, as part of the natural expression of the text. They are part of the tapestry, they aren’t a little flower somebody sewed on.”
—Peggy Noonan (b. 1950)
“An association of men who will not quarrel with one another is a thing which has never yet existed, from the greatest confederacy of nations down to a town meeting or a vestry.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
