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 really means nothing anywhere in the world, it's strictly a voluntary program. If you want to work at FS fill out the online application and remember you would never steal a dustball from your place of employment, but you will turn your mother in if she does.

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!)
