The Electronics Technician (ET) Certificate program provides flexible, skills-based training in electronic devices and theory. It has been developed for adult learners pursuing basic technician level training through independent study, specifically students who cannot attend college full-time because of work or family commitments. No electronics background is required and there are no academic prerequisites, so anyone can get training in this rapidly-growing industry. The ET program is an award-winning educational program that consists of 23 modules of interactive curriculum using text, video, audio, 2D and 3D animations and laboratory simulation software. The program covers an introductory curriculum in electronics equivalent to a two year college diploma. This computer-based multimedia program includes pre-tests, interactive exercises, sample exams and online technical and tutorial support to help prepare you for online computer-based final exams. The program includes 23 modules with each containing text, animations, mini audio lectures, illustrations, review questions, online resources, over 450 pre-built lab projects and practice exams.

One of the main learning features of the ET program is the complete integration of laboratory experiments and projects within the presentation of the electronics theory. This is accomplished through the introduction of circuit simulation software that simulates the behavior of electronic circuits. Students who enroll in the program receive a licensed copy of CircuitLogix Pro, a leading commercially available simulator that includes both 2D- and 3D-circuit simulation tools.
