Electronics foundations and industrial systems

Associate Electronics Technician (CETa)

Build a foundation for bench troubleshooting. Read a schematic, trace a signal or supply path, and use voltage, resistance, and waveform measurements to distinguish a faulty component from a wiring problem.

Electronics Associate DC (EM1)

Start with voltage, current, resistance, and power. Analyze series and parallel paths, then use meter readings to distinguish an open circuit, a short, and a normal voltage drop.

Electronics Associate AC (EM2)

Study alternating signals, frequency, phase, impedance, and the behavior of inductors and capacitors. Apply these concepts to interpret AC measurements and predict how a circuit responds as frequency changes.

Electronics Associate Analog (EM3)

Follow continuously varying signals through diodes, transistors, amplifiers, and power supplies. Compare expected bias and signal levels to measurements when an output is distorted, missing, or unstable.

Electronics Associate Digital (EM4)

Work with binary numbers, logic gates, truth tables, and sequential circuits. Follow logic levels and timing through a circuit to determine where a digital output stops matching its input conditions.

Electronics Associate Comprehensive (EM5)

Bring earlier electronics modules together through measurement and troubleshooting. Use schematics, component behavior, and test equipment to choose the next measurement when a circuit fails.

Avionics Electronics Technician (AVN)

For technicians working with aircraft electronic systems. Study how communications, navigation, displays, wiring, and antennas interact; use system diagrams and symptoms to narrow a fault to a subsystem or interconnection.

RADAR Electronics Technician (RAD)

For technicians studying radar electronics. Trace the pulse from transmitter to antenna and the return through the receiver and display. Relate timing and signal-path faults to symptoms such as missing or unreliable targets.

Fiber optics and data cabling

Fiber Optics Installer (FOI)

Fiber Optics Technician (FOT)

For technicians who test and troubleshoot installed fiber. Compare insertion-loss measurements with the link budget and interpret an OTDR trace to distinguish a splice, reflective connector, or fiber break. Confirm hands-on assessment arrangements.

Fiber Optics Technician (Inside Plant) (FOT-ISP)

Focus on fiber inside buildings and equipment facilities. Study routing, patch panels, polarity, labeling, and acceptance testing; trace a loss or polarity issue between the equipment ports and the building link.

Fiber Optics Technician (Outside Plant) (FOT-OSP)

Focus on field fiber routes between facilities. Study cable placement, closures, splicing, restoration, and long-link testing. Use route records and optical measurements to narrow down where a damaged span needs attention.

Data Cabling Installer (DCI)

For installers building structured copper cabling systems. Interpret cable routes, terminate and label links, and use wire-map or performance-test results to identify opens, crossed pairs, and termination errors.

Radio, wireless and telecommunications

General Communications Technician - Level 1 (GCT1)

For technicians building radio communications fundamentals. Follow audio and RF signals through a basic station, identify common radio and antenna components, and select measurements for a first-pass fault check.

General Communications Technician - Level 2 (GCT2)

For technicians moving into deeper communications troubleshooting. Relate transmitter, receiver, feed-line, and antenna behavior to symptoms, then compare test results to isolate the faulty stage.

Wireless Communications Electronics Technician (WCM)

For technicians servicing wireless communications electronics. Trace RF transmission and reception, modulation, feed lines, and antennas; relate poor range, noise, or distortion to likely equipment or installation faults.

Telecommunications Electronics Technician (TCM)

For technicians supporting telecommunications equipment. Follow voice or data through transmission media, interfaces, and network equipment; use signal measurements and service symptoms to isolate a fault along the path.

5G Technician (5GT)

For technicians supporting cellular networks. Follow a 5G connection from the user device through the radio access network to the core, and distinguish coverage, interference, and backhaul problems when service degrades.

Distributed Antenna Systems Technician (DAS)

For technicians working on distributed antenna coverage. Trace the signal through the head end, distribution medium, remote units, and antennas; use measurements to distinguish a distribution fault from weak source coverage.

Line and Antenna Sweep (LAS)

For field technicians evaluating antenna feed systems. Interpret return-loss and distance-to-fault measurements to distinguish a mismatch from a damaged connector or cable section. Ask about the hands-on sweep assessment when scheduling.

Microwave Radio Technician (MRT)

For point-to-point microwave links. Study path clearance, antenna alignment, link budgets, and fading; compare received signal levels with expected performance to investigate a weak or intermittent link.

Mobile Communications and Electronics Installer (MCEI)

For vehicle communications installations. Plan power, grounding, antenna placement, and cable routing; check for voltage drop or interference and verify radio operation after installation.

RF Interference Mitigation (RFIM)

For technicians investigating interference. Distinguish unwanted signals from receiver or antenna-system faults, compare observations by frequency, location, and time, and evaluate whether filtering, shielding, or source correction addresses the cause.

Satellite installation and distribution

Certified Satellite Installer (CSI)

For installers setting up a satellite receiving system. Work through site selection, line of sight, dish alignment, feed and coax connections, and signal verification; distinguish an alignment problem from a cable or connector fault.

Certified Satellite Installer S-MATV (CSI-SMATV)

For technicians distributing satellite signals to multiple outlets in a shared building. Trace signals from the receiving equipment through the distribution network and compare measurements at different outlets to isolate loss or imbalance.

Computers, networks and security

Computer Service Technician (CST)

For technicians diagnosing computer hardware and operating-system problems. Isolate startup, storage, power, and peripheral faults and verify that a repair restores normal operation.

Network Systems Technician (NST)

For technicians maintaining network connectivity. Trace a connection across physical links, switches, addressing, and routing; use test results to distinguish a cable fault from a configuration or network-service problem.

Wireless Network Technician (WNT)

For technicians deploying and supporting wireless data networks. Study access-point placement, channel selection, wireless security, and client connectivity. Distinguish a coverage or interference issue from authentication or wired-network problems.

Information Technology Security (ITS)

For technicians responsible for securing information systems. Work through authentication, access control, network protection, and incident response; relate a device configuration or access decision to the exposure it creates.

FCC commercial radio licenses, permit and endorsement

FCC Marine Radio Operator Permit (MROP / MP)

Prepare for FCC Element 1, covering maritime radio operating practices and basic communications procedures. This is the permit pathway for students focused on operating duties rather than the broader electronics preparation for GROL.
