Add the SBE ATSC3 Specialist Certification to Your Credentials |
|
The Society of Broadcast Engineers, in its continuing effort to advance its Program of Certification, has added a new Specialist Certification to its offerings: The ATSC3 Specialist. The new level of certification was developed by the Society of Broadcast Engineers Certification Committee with direct assistance from the Advanced Television Systems Committee. The first ATSC3 SBE Certification exams will be made available during the February 2021 SBE exam period. While the application deadline to take those exams has passed, you can still submit your application to take the exam during the next chapter exam window or via private proctoring. |
