NETA ETT Level 2: Suggested Study Strategy
Frequently Asked Questions
Who administers the NETA Level 2 exam?
Per NETA and Pearson VUE, NETA Levels 2, 3, and 4 certification exams are administered by Pearson VUE at authorized test centers. Registration is managed through the candidate's NETA Accredited Company (only Level 1 Trainee assessment is 'by employer').
What is the passing score for the NETA Level 2 exam?
Per NETA's 'Understanding Your Certification Exam Score' document, scaled scores range from 200 to 500, with 410 as the passing scaled score established through a formal standard-setting process. Raw scores are transformed to scaled scores so forms remain equivalent.
How many questions are on the NETA Level 2 exam and how long does it last?
The Level 2 exam is a 100-item, multiple-choice, closed-book, onsite proctored examination with two hours allowed, and a passing score is 410 or higher on a 200-500 scale (NETA technician-certification page). The Level 2 Detailed Content Outline (confirmed October 2015) weights Safety 15%, Electrical Testing Fundamentals and Theory 25%, Component Testing 55%, and Systems and Commissioning 5%.
What are the four NETA ETT exam domains?
Per the ANSI/NETA ETT Detailed Content Outlines, every NETA exam (Levels 2, 3, 4) is organized into four domains: (I) Safety; (II) Electrical Testing Fundamentals and Theory; (III) Component Testing; and (IV) Systems and Commissioning. For Level 2 the weights are Safety 15%, Fundamentals and Theory 25%, Component Testing 55%, and Systems and Commissioning 5% (NETA technician-certification page); other levels use different weights.
How much experience do I need to sit for the NETA Level 2 exam?
Per NETA's technician-certification page, Level 2 requires two years of related experience plus 40 hours of safety training and 160 hours of electrical training, and Level 1 qualifications. Technical education in an electrical field can count toward at most one year of that experience.
Do I have to work for a NETA Accredited Company to be certified?
Yes. NETA certification is only available to technicians employed by a NETA Accredited Company (or a NETA Approved Military Organization). If you are not currently employed by one, you would typically begin by joining a NETA Accredited Company first, then working toward Level 2 eligibility.
What references should I study for NETA Level 2?
Per NETA's Exam Preparation page, core references include ANSI/NETA ATS, ANSI/NETA MTS, ANSI/NETA ETT, NFPA 70E, NFPA 70 (NEC), IEEE 43 (rotating machinery IR), and applicable IEEE, NEMA, and manufacturer documentation. NETA also publishes a Formulae Sheet that will be available on-screen during the exam.
How do I recertify NETA Level 2?
Per NETA's FAQ (netaworld.org/about/contact-us-faqs), Level 2 Technicians must earn 24 CTD (Continuing Technical Development) credits every three years, while Levels 3 and 4 require 48. Certification also depends on employment at a NETA Accredited Company; up to five years of separation with documented CTDs can preserve eligibility to reinstate per NETA policy.
