The Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE) exam for the new SCTE certification program, Digital Video Engineering Professional (DVEP), has been finalized and is now available for industry professionals interested in pursuing the new credential.
SCTE has placed the 100-question, multiple-choice online exam through a beta testing period recently to help fine-tune the final product. SCTE announced the new certification in late June during a special reception at SCTE Cable-Tec Expo 2006 in Denver.
This new SCTE professional credential certifies knowledge in the engineering aspects of digital video systems as deployed in the cable telecommunications industry. The scope of the DVEP certification includes the design, analysis, testing, integration, deployment considerations and troubleshooting of a variety of digital video systems. Specifics include:
- Engineering management and professionalism
- Facilities and physical aspects
- Digital video theory
- Digital video systems design and performance analysis
- Digital video systems test and integration
- Digital video systems deployment
Anyone interested in pursuing the SCTE DVEP certification or any of SCTE’s six other certification programs can find program details and enroll at www.scte.org in the certification section of the site.
