The General Communications Technician Level 2 certification is a journeyman level program modeled after wide-ranging industry communication systems encompassing more specific detailed items along with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) guidelines covering all of the disciplines in the COMT program. The purpose of the GCT2 is to provide a certification program and testing that expands upon the coverage included in the GCT1 competencies. The GCT2 certification technician candidate must hold the GCT1 or the Associate CETa as the minimum pre-requisite certification. Prior RF experience is highly suggested.
The GCT2 competency comprises more complex areas in which a radio communications technician and/or engineer will encounter in the public safety communications or business / commercial radio fields. This GCT2 certification will involve more knowledge of intricate skills and troubleshooting. The GCT program will require re-testing to renew every four years to keep current in the newest technology for all Levels.
