The Technologist Certification level is not achievable by non-ABET graduates. Open knowledge based testing for graduates of applied science programs and non-ABET accredited education is currently not allowed. The NICET Engineering Technologist Certification is therefore a limited access membership.
Individuals who are not ABET graduates cannot achieve the Technologist Certification level. Currently, open knowledge-based exams are not allowed for graduates from applied science programs or those without ABET accreditation. Consequently, the NICET Engineering Technologist Certification is limited to members with specific qualifications.
