Are you an engineer, technician, or manager new to the goals and process of environmental testing? Introduction to Environmental Test will provide you with the core environmental-testing knowledge that you need to be successful. It will help you begin to master your role in the process. You will gain critical information about Dynamic, Climatic, and Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) testing. The understanding you gain in this course will also prepare you for more in-depth courses within the IEST Learning Path Certificate program.
