Cedar Rapids, IA–The Electronic Systems Professional Alliance (ESPA) recently finalized the “job task analysis” process for creating its Certified-EST education and certification products.

Fred Ampel, President and Principal Consultant for Technology Visions S.A.

Larry Garter, EST Master Instructor for NSCA University
Ian Hendler, Director, Automation Products for Leviton Manufacturing Co., Inc.
