2025 Electrical Power Testing (EPT) Job Analysis Surveys
NICET is updating our Electrical Power Testing (EPT) program.
As part of the Job Task Analysis, a panel of EPT subject matter experts (SMEs) recently met to analyze the work in EPT. NICET wants to validate their work by surveying the population of individuals currently active in the EPT field.
Your input will be used to validate the work of the expert panel and to update NICET's understanding of the specialty areas. Also, the survey results will be used to prioritize the content of the certification examination.
There are four surveys corresponding with the four levels of EPT certification. Below, you will find the links to the surveys that were sent via email to current EPT certified individuals. If you have already completed the survey(s) from the email, please do not take the survey(s) again.
If you are not a NICET EPT certificant, you can still take the survey based on your years of experience as it matches to the four levels.
We thank you for helping NICET lay the foundation for this program.
