RF/Wireless Engineering Certification from Besser Associates

Besser Associates is pleased to announce our online Applied RF Engineering Certification program. This program will provide you with the essential skills to tackle RF and Wireless design and integration projects effectively. The online format of the course work allows you to learn the material wherever you are and whenever you like within the course period. The requirements for certification include completion of three core courses along with an elective course. Each core course includes a 25 question multiple choice test that must be passed with an 80% score.
