Certification for CBETs, CRES, and CLES
What is certification?
ICC Certification
for Biomedical Equipment Technicians (BMETs) is a formal recognition
by the International Certification Commission for Clinical Engineering
and Biomedical Technology (ICC) that individuals have demonstrated
excellence in theoretical as well as practical knowledge of the
principles of biomedical equipment technology.
Why become certified?
In today's health
care market, technology is paramount. The need for a work force
knowledgeable in the theory of operation, underlying physiological
principles, and safe application of biomedical equipment is a central
concern of many hospitals and companies. Certification demonstrates
that successful applicants have the knowledge to ensure a safe,
reliable health care environment. It also demonstrates to employers
a significant commitment to career and competence. Quite simply,
in an increasingly competitive and changing environment, being certified
is an essential investment in your future.
What kinds of certifications are there?
The Board of
Examiners for Biomedical Equipment Technicians, operating under
the direction of the United States Certification Commission (USCC)
and the ICC, maintains the certification programs for biomedical
equipment technicians (CBET), radiology equipment specialists (CRES),
and clinical laboratory equipment specialists (CLES).
One certification
is not a prerequisite for another. Each certification (CBET, CRES,
CLES) requires a separate, complete examination. Applicants may
test in only one discipline per examination cycle. |
