From page 29... ...
The only nationally applicable certifications that are not tied directly to the needs of individual organizations are the technician and technologist certifications available from the National Institute for Certification in Engineering Technologies [NICET~.5 NICET limits itself to serving as an examining body to evaluate the qualifications of those who voluntarily apply for certification in one of its many programs in a large number of recognized engineering disciplines. Recently, there has been increased interest in using certification to establish that an individual has the necessary education and work experience to perform specific job tasks.
