ELIGIBILITY RECOMMENDATIONS

The IEEE WCET® is a broad-based examination that assesses knowledge of the entire wireless communication engineering field. If you have never been a wireless communication engineering practitioner, or do not plan to become one, you will need to evaluate whether it is appropriate for you to take this test. The IEEE WCET® exam is intended for professionals who develop and implement all types of wireless communication in countries throughout the world.

The WCET exam has been constructed by subject matter experts and hiring managers to assess the skills and knowledge of practicing wireless communications professionals with the equivalent of a college or university degree and three or more years of professional experience. The decision as to whether an individual is qualified to take the exam is an assessment that should be made by the applicant with this understanding. In making the decision, an applicant should consider the following factors:
  • The college or university should be accredited in the country in which it is located
  • Graduate-level educational experience may be comparable to an equivalent period of professional work experience
  • “Professional wireless experience” means that at least 51% of the candidate’s daily activities are in the field of wireless communication engineering and those activities are at the professional level
  • A thorough familiarity with the topics covered by the exam, as described in the exam specifications, is necessary to achieve success on the examination.
Significant success on the practice exam, available online, has been shown to be an indicator that a candidate is probably qualified to take the certification examination.

Applicants with a combination of a bachelor’s degree or comparable education plus three or more years of professional experience – or other similar level of preparation – have been more successful on the examination than those with less preparation.
