The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association (CEDIA), and National Systems Contractors Association (NSCA) founded ESPA; however, the alliance is an independent and unbiased organization working on behalf of ESTs.
Five additional organizations also have joined ESPA to help educate and certify people who have just entered or are about to enter the electronics industry. By creating, promoting, and standing behind one program, ESPA and its partners are making ESPA Certified-EST® the de facto standard for the electronics systems professional.
By forming a universal entry point, ESPA can focus on new entrants to the industry and current technicians that have never been certified, while its partners focus on higher level programs and employment opportunities.
