2022 Acceptance Test Technician

About this course

NLCAA’s ATT course spends two days going over construction lighting codes and one day of functional lab board testing with a final 50-question written test.  ATT’s are well versed in the Title 24 codes giving them an advantage as field installers. They can review a set of plans for compliance and/or value engineering before and during the project construction which could minimize change orders, delays, and yield a savings when there is the possibility of value engineering.
