Is it necessary to obtain a certification to work as an instrument technician?

It's necessary! For example, if you don’t have a certification, you’re not qualified to sign on the instrument calibration forms. Moreover, having more certifications can help you when looking for a new job – certificates as an instrument engineer, a metrology specialist, or for working with radioactive sources, and so on; obtain as many of these as possible if you can

Certificates are very useful for changing units, especially in foreign companies

How do I obtain a instrumentation engineer certificate? ? ? ? My email address is bawanglang@126.com. Those who are willing to offer guidance can send me an email. Thank you!

3# nt_gdygy I work in instrument engineering design. What certificates do I need to obtain?

2# pjqjt: Can I take exams for other certificates besides these?

It seems that for instrument technicians, apart from obtaining certification for measuring devices (such as CNC meters, pressure gauges, temperature sensors, etc.), there aren’t many other certifications to obtain. Someone like me has no choice but to pursue a career in electrical engineering; I need to get a certificate as a senior electrician first, and then work towards becoming a technician. I’m curious about how one can become an instrument engineer. I hope that those who are familiar with this area can share their resources.

Becoming a certified automation system engineer is completely out of reach

Currently, registered engineers are very popular, but the exams are quite difficult

It's okay to get an advanced certificate first, and then obtain an engineer certificate.
