What is an Acceptance Test Technician?

A Lighting Controls Acceptance Test Technician (ATT) is an installation technician certified to perform nonresidential acceptance testing for lighting controls. You are not required to be a certified general electrician to apply.

An ATT must work under, or become, a certified Acceptance Test Employer (ATE) to perform acceptance testing. You'll add your employer in Step 3.
