The Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers Wednesday announced a five-year joint agreement with NCTI.
The SCTE said its goal is to raise the perceived value of its certification programs in the industry, as well as to provide a clearer route for certification preparation.
Littleton, Colo.-based NCTI provides work-force-performance products, service and education to the cable and broadband industries.
Under terms of the agreement, the SCTE becomes an official certification partner of NCTI, while NCTI becomes an official training partner of the SCTE. Working together, the two organizations will identify and assist high-potential SCTE-certification candidates among the industry’s work-force.
