There is also an unscored portion of the test consisting of the same number of questions that are included for statistical research purposes. Although the answers to the unscored questions will not affect the test score, they must be answered since test candidates will not know which questions are scored or not. The questions on the Truck Equipment Installation and Repair Specialist Test were developed by a cross-section of industry experts which included representatives from major equipment and truck chassis manufacturers. It s a positive example of what an industry can produce when it truly puts its best foot forward. To earn certification in this new specialty area, a technician must achieve a passing score on the test, and have two years of hands-on experience as a truck equipment technician.
Certification is good for five years.
Technicians must recertify at that point in order to keep their credential current.
