Calibration Technician Certification

Step 1. Is this the right certification for you?

Here are the requirements, experience and exam specifics for a Calibration Technician. If you already know this is the certification you want to pursue, move on to exam preparation.

Education and/or Experience

You must have five years of on-the-job experience in one or more of the areas of the Certified Calibration Technician Body of Knowledge.

If you have completed a degree from a college, university, or technical school with accreditation accepted by ASQ, part of the five-year experience requirement will be waived, as follows (only one of these waivers may be claimed):

• Diploma from a technical, military, or trade school—two years waived
• Associate degree—two year waived
• Bachelor's degree—two years waived
• Master's or doctorate—two years waived

Degrees/diplomas from educational institutions outside the United States must be equivalent to degrees from U.S. educational institutions.

Examination

Each certification candidate is required to pass a written examination that consists of multiple-choice questions that measure comprehension of the Body of Knowledge. The Calibration Technician examination is a one-part, 125-question, four-hour exam and is offered in English.

Examinations are conducted twice a year, in June and December, by local ASQ sections and international organizations. All examinations are open-book. Each participant must bring his or her own reference materials. Use of reference materials and calculators is explained in the seating letter provided to applicants.
