Each year, Paragon electronic technicians service over 600 different brand names, covering 18,000 distinct products.

To make that responsibility easier, and faster for our customers, Paragon employs a continuing investment in test equipment and education of technicians and technical management including the following:

CET (Certified Electronic Technician) Testing Program
The Certified Electronics Technician Program is designed to measure the degree of knowledge and proficiency of practicing technicians. There are two primary levels of certification, the Associate level and the Journeyman level, with many specialties offered in the Journeyman Certification program.

Associate-Level Certified Electronics Technician Exam
A technician in electronics with less than 4 years experience may take the associate level exam. This exam is the basic electronics portion of the full Journeyman’s CET exam and must be passed with a score of 75% or higher. This certification is good for four years.

Journeyman-Level Certified Electronics Technician Exam
A fully certified technician must pass an entire CET exam, which consists of the basic electronics portion, plus at least one Journeyman option in special fields of electronics.

Industrial Specialist Exam
Covers such items as transducers, switches, differential amplifiers, basic logic circuits, and elements of numeric control.

Paragon also encourages and rewards technicians with financial programs for their continuing education when it is directly related to the field of industrial electronics. Paragon shares its collective expertise with new members of its staff in an ongoing program of education, training, promotion from within, and career rewards for new skills acquired.
