Where can I obtain this certification in Alberta? I looked on their site and seemingly they don't have any "basic installer" exams available in Alberta.

I'm not really planning to do any installing but I think it would look nice on an electrical engineering resume.

Also, where can I obtain the "basic installers" handbook? The link to that book is broken on their site.

mecp is not a canadian accepted certification
it is an american piece of paper that derick lee is cashing in on

 

what is a canadian accepted certification?(not asking literialy what is a ... but what is the name of a canadian accepted certification) is there even one?

Somthing i would like to know is what do you have to do to become an installer for a place like future shop or someplace like that?

 

the only ceritifcation is in ontario and for remote starts only
its called a automotive electronics accessory techician

to work at the future shop the requirements are ability to bull siht the customers
and you need to have a heartbeat

 

that's kinda interesting...i was always under the impression that to become an installer you took a small course first, but i guess not. i know it's now all that hard. i would think that it would be a little better to explain electrical laws and equations though so that the installers would actually know why wiring subs in parallel and series makes different resistances, instead of just taking the head installers word for it.

(not specifically directed at anyone on the site, or at any specific store...if just had some experience with some people who don't really know a think about the theory of electronics and since they are "installers" believe that they are 12V gods!)
