If you have been an iNARTE certified telecommunications professional for more than two years, chances are you’ve gained expertise. Your iNARTE certification should reflect your current skill level.

If your experience exceeds your certification level, it is time to upgrade* your iNARTE certification level. Go to iNARTE Certification Levels to determine the certification level for which you qualify.

* Note: Upgrade applies only to Telecommunications certification categories (EMC, ESD and ATL are not eligible for upgrade).
