Educating the Workforce

Earning continuing credits for your professional growth.

Did you know that ITEA provides educational courses that align with the four domains of the T&E Certification program to groups in government and industry? We have contracts with the Workforce Development Office at a Navy command and the NextGen FAA William J. Hughes Technical Center for our T&E Fundamentals course and Design of Experiments for T&E. We make it easy and affordable to bring T&E education to you. To learn more, contact us at education@itea.org.

Are you Certified in T&E?

Where else can your employees test their knowledge?

It is usually beneficial to seek out certification within your industry; and for those in Test and Evaluation, it’s no different. For instance, government employees can become certified through programs offered by the Defense Acquisition University, but did you know that for over 10 years, ITEA has been administering, managing, and awarding the Certified Test and Evaluation Professional (CTEP) credentials to individuals in both the government and contractors/ businesses.

We are a  trusted non-profit education association with a Board of Examiners that developed the questions necessary to test individuals to enter or advance in the field of test and evaluation. To learn more about the 4 Domains of the program including T&E Planning; T&E Design; T&E Execution; and Test Data Analysis, Evaluation and Reporting visit our website or contact us at education@itea.org.
