Coordination and Procedures
Once your Telecommunications Certification application and testing fee is received, iNARTE will effect the necessary coordination and arrangements for a testing date, time,
location and point of contact. See the TEST CENTER LISTING for locations.
The iNARTE "Master Engineer" Exam is composed of 100 multiple-choice questions. Completion time for the
Master Engineer examination is approximately 6 hours. Eight hours is the maximum time allowed.
This exam is "open book" thus any books or notes can be used. Calculators
and laptops are allowed, but you must provide your own battery
power. No power outlet or data/internet connection is
permitted.
Exams are graded at iNARTE. The candidate will be advised of their results within 15 days. (Passing score
is 75% or higher). Should a candidate fail the examination, a retake is permissible following a 90 day period. Examinations
may be retaken any number of times, however, an examination processing fee is required each time
the exam is taken.
