Program Description
TTi's Level II Specialist Certificate Programs are
offered to personnel actively involved in various aspects of engineering.
They provide an opportunity to acquire specific application-oriented advanced
education with particular emphasis on current technologies and methodologies.
Completion of a TTi Level II certificate program will add breadth and depth
to the participant's knowledge and skills and will assist them in preparing
for increased responsibility in their careers.
The requirements for a TTi Level II Specialist Certificate consist of:
Practical Experience
Each participant shall be actively involved in the selected engineering
field and have "hands on" practical experience, a description of which shall be submitted to TTi. A minimum of 48 months related experience is required prior to award of the TTi Certificate.
Application-Oriented Continuing Education Courses
Each specialist program consists of seven required courses. During the period when the participant is obtaining the required practical experience in the "real world," the participant also undertakes
an educational program consisting of approximately 130-140 hours of classroom instruction. This training program has been designed so that the complete seven (7) courses comprise a balanced program covering
the major areas of interest to the participant.
In most cases, this classroom instructional phase is spread over three
or more years. This is generally not the only education the participant
obtains during this period. Many participants also pursue formal college
or university degree programs, attend engineering society seminars or pursue
other self improvement methods such as keeping current with the latest
advances in the technology by reading technical society and trade publications,
etc.
Thesis
After successfully completing the basic Specialist Certificate requirements,
the participant prepares a Thesis on a practical activity, directly related
to the subject area studied and personally accomplished by the participant.
This Thesis is submitted to TTi for review and evaluation. During the period
leading up to the completion of the experience and training phases of the
program, the participant will select the appropriate project and begin
to keep relevant notes, results, photographs etc. as basic material for
the Thesis. Please note that participants should not select for their Thesis
either commercial or defense related activities which may be considered
sensitive or secret.
The format of the Thesis is prescribed and includes:
- Objective of Activity
- Description of Activity
- Date of Activity
- Location
- Equipment used
- Standards, Specifications, Procedures
- Results and Conclusions.
Individuals wishing to earn two or more specialist certificates will be
required to complete a separate thesis for each certificate. Candidates
for multiple certificates are urged to contact TTi to discuss course requirements.
(See Thesis Preparation Guidelines for more details.)
Level III
For individuals who want additional training, TTi has developed the Senior Environmental Specialist Certificate program. This program prepares the participant for more senior and responsible technical positions.
The requirements are listed above.
The Senior Specialist Critique should evaluate in some detail
the procedures, requirements, results and conclusion of the previous work,
based on additional knowledge and experience obtained by further study
and participation in TTi's Certificate program.
General
Individuals may apply for entrance to a certificate program at any
time via a letter of application addressed to TTi. When all the requirements
have been met, participants may apply to TTi for evaluation of their individual
program and issuance of the certificate.
TTi will review the applicant’s experience, course work and thesis prior
to the award of the certificate. TTi does not endorse the actual capabilities
of any individual awarded a TTi Certificate. TTi certifies only that, to
the best of its knowledge, the recipient has completed the desired conditions
as specified in the program.
Participating in and successfully completing a TTi Certificate program
indicates that the individual has been actively involved in a structured,
continuing education program over an extended period of time. These programs
are designed help individuals to maintain and improve their skills, to
stay abreast of today's technology and to prepare for advancement in their
careers.
