Our review program took a significant step forward in 2009 with the launch of several training tools designed to help you prepare for the ESPA Certified-EST® certification exam:

Your path to certification:

• Take the Career Entry Survey.

• Take the Pre-Test Assessment.

• Review the ESPA Certified-EST® exam blueprint.

• Decide your course of study.

• Locate a proctored computer testing facility in your area.

• Complete the registration form to secure your online exam session at a proctored testing facility.

   

The Pre-Test Assessment: The purpose of the Pre-Test Assessment is to ensure that you are ready to be tested on the five domains of knowledge (electrical basics; tools; construction methods and materials; wiring and installation practices; and standards, codes, and safety practices) that make up the ESPA Certified-EST. Once the Pre-Test is started, you will have up to twenty-four (24) hours to complete and submit your assessment exam. If you fail due to an incomplete exam, another exam will need to be purchased.

ESPA strongly encourages you to take this Pre-Test Assessment to help you determine if:
    a) you may be ready to take the exam without training,
    b) the type of training you may need (from full review course to domain-specific training), or
    c) if you are ready for a higher level certification offered by one of our partners.

Upon completion of the Pre-Test Assessment, you will receive a domain-specific scoring report detailing your knowledge of the specific areas the ESPA Certified-EST ^® exam covers. The training prescription contained in the score report should help you decide what you need to do prior to taking the ESPA Certified-EST ^® exam. If you have questions about this Pre-Test Assessment, please email ESPA at certification@espa.org.
