Electronics Certification Exam Fees

ETA prices its electronics certification exams affordably for any student or professional. We also offer discounts when you combine several exams into a single sitting (we apply the highest exam fee first). Please see the exam fees below for more details.

ETA exam retake policies:
We allow one free retake with all ETA certification exams. This does not apply to FCC exams. There is a 30-day waiting period to retake an exam (with no waiting period for FCC exam retakes), and you must complete the retake within one year of the first exam session.

NOTE: In addition to the exam fees listed below, you may have additional instructors' fees for classes or exam supervision.
