The National Institute for Certification in Engineering Technologies (NICET) has partnered with Pearson VUE to deliver the computer-based certification examinations.

The mission of NICET is to promote excellence in engineering technologies globally through certification and related services.

Since NICET was founded in 1961, more than 149,000 technicians and technologists have met NICET’s rigorous certification criteria, and the number grows rapidly as more employers and local and state governments rely on NICET certification to measure the qualifications of their workforce.

NICET offers over 12 nationally recognized, engineering technology, certification programs. See Certification Program Information to find the program right for you.
