Knowing where your employees and job candidates stand with their low voltage knowledge level give your company a competitive advantage. 

Build your company and teams to use each employees strengths and knowledge. 

Purchase just one exam code or as many as you need. You’ll have a year to assign the codes to employees or potential employees to use the codes and take the exams.

Give a code to any employee or potential employee that needs to take an exam. Assign the student a specific low voltage system and level to test into. 

The employee or potential employee logs into or creates a free NTC account and uses the code to “purchase” the exam level assigned. The exam is taken within 7 days of using the code.

Test takers are encouraged to use any books that they prefer. Online searches for information is permitted. There are several different products by common manufacturers in the industry, and where a specific product is part of the question, the PDF installation manual for that product is available for the test taker to review. 

The exams are not intended to evaluate a person’s ability to do field work. Certification is based on the knowledge an individual has, not on the years of experience. The knowledge to successfully pass each level may have obtained by study, experience, on the job training, classes, or any number of ways. 

NTC’s C3 certification exams can be taken in any order. It’s not necessary to take each level. If a test taker demonstrates or claims knowledge appropriate for Level 3, he or she should take the Level 3 exam without needing to take Levels 1 or 2.
