ESP 2060 - Electronics Competency Rev II

Performance-based certifications are preferred by practitioners and employers as valid indicators of the functional capabilities of each individual.  The CertTEC® hallmark is: “Certifying what you know AND what you can do”™.  The AC CertTEC® BEE certification is a performance-based online exam.  This exam will test hands-on troubleshooting skills utilizing a multi-meter, oscilloscope and function generator along with an electronic trainer and test cards.   The CertTEC® BEE certifications are accredited by the International Certification Accreditation Council (ICAC) to meet ISO 17024 guidelines.

The AC performance assessment allows students to demonstrate the knowledge and abilities to recognize, analyze, and troubleshoot basic AC circuitry.  Student will be diagnosing and troubleshooting up to nineteen different AC circuits under twenty different troubleshooting scenarios.  Circuits will be transformers in step-up, step-down, isolation, and autotransformer configurations. Students will also encounter RC, RL, and RCL circuits configured as timing, low-pass filter, high-pass filter, band-pass filter, and phase shift circuits. 

Student Learning Outcomes:
Upon successful completion, the student will have sufficiently demonstrated the ability to:

• Follow specific instructions
• Properly use test equipment to make AC frequency, amplitude, and phase measurements
• Troubleshoot simple and complex AC circuits
• Isolate and identify defective components in an AC circuit
