Actually in the case of CET's you can't take the Journeyman level test,
until you have 2 years experience in trade your taking the Test.
The exam is two part.
75 on Basic Electronics (Theory)
75 Journeyman level Test (based on knowledge of the field to which you
work).
Some of the Journeyman test are:
"Consumer Electronics" (Radio/Tv/Stereo/DVD/HDTV)
"Computer" (Equivalent to the A+ exam for Computer Technicians)
"Communications" (It and 25 question Rules exam is equivalent to 2ND
Class FCC exam which allow work on Two - way Communications equipment)
"Radar" (taking this test makes it eaier for Radar Technicians to get
jobs in the Airline industry)
While you may or may not be impressed with Titles. CET is not to be
taken lightly.
On the other hand When I worked as the sole Electronics Technician for a
25 - school, school system; I ran into many Phd's that although they had
plenty of book knowledge; they had the common sense of a turnip.
I did run into some though that didn't put up pretenses, didn't stick
their noses in the air, and look down on the masses, and had plenty of
Common sense.
Most CET's after they pass the exam use the title after their name, it tradition.
