WDCP Engineer

General Overview

iNARTE Wireless Device Certification Professional (WDCP) Certification

Please note: new applications are no longer being accepted for the WDCP certification program. The WDCP certification program is transitioning to the Spectrum Management certification program. Click here for more information.

The iNARTE Wireless Device Certification Professional (WDCP) Certification Program focuses the skills and knowledge required in the global regulatory requirements applicable to the wide range of wireless devices in most market segments.

This certification program is for professionals who are qualified to test, evaluate, and perform certifications of radio frequency transmitter devices and systems.

The WDCP Certification program certifies those people dealing with the installation of unlicensed systems to add definition to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requirement for professional installation.

Professional Certification for Engineers and Technicians

This certification is suitable for engineers and technicians who are skilled and knowledgeable in the global regulatory requirements applicable to wireless devices. Accordingly, iNARTE does not mandate a specific post-secondary education background, although an appropriate engineering or physical science qualification will be recognized during application review. Candidates without such a background will be allowed to support their application through years of direct work experience.

Candidates who are already iNARTE Certified EMC engineers or technicians will be allowed exemption from Part 1 of the WDCP examination, which covers EMC basic knowledge and fundamentals. Part 2 must be attempted since it contains questions directly applicable to the certification testing of wireless devices.

WDCP is currently not accepting new applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is my training certificate valid?

Exemplar Global recognizes training completed with training providers who have held or currently hold certification with us under our current name or previous trading names (RABQSA, QSA, RAB) for 10 years from the date the training was completed. These are for our management system schemes, such as QMS, EMS, OHS, etc.

Some of our schemes require a training certificate to have been issued within the last three years. Please check the specific certification requirements for the scheme you wish to apply for. If your training was completed outside of the training requirement time, you may need to complete a relevant knowledge examination, if available. If a knowledge examination is not available, this may be substituted with an audit log showing relevant audit experience. If you choose this method, we require that you show evidence of 10 audit days reflecting the specific scheme (e.g, QMS, EMS, OHS, etc.) and grade (i.e., auditor or lead auditor) you wish to apply for. Importantly, the audit dates captured in your log need to have been conducted within the past three years.

Do you recognize certification from other bodies?

There are current agreements with IRCA/CQI, PECB, and the CCAA to recognize certification. Applicants must be able to demonstrate holding a current certification with one of the above mentioned bodies in order to qualify.

How do I check on the status of my application for certification?

You can check on the status of your application for certification via our Exemplar Community platform at https://community.exemplarglobal.org/. At the top-level navigation, select the ‘Manage My Certifications’ button and from the drop- down menu choose the Exemplar Global option. From there, select the ‘Current Certifications’ tab. You will then be taken through to the ‘Applications in Progress’ page where you can check the status of your certification application.

Where are the documents I uploaded in support of my application for certification?

Once you submit your application for certification, you will not be able to see the documents you have uploaded to support your application. Please contact your certification specialist or info@exemplarglobal.org if you need assistance.

How long does it take to process my application for certification?

It usually takes between seven to 10 business days to complete this process. However, this is provided that all supporting documents have been uploaded by the applicant.
