NETA Field Testing

Documentation practice for field crews: what each test verifies, what a defensible record contains, and how acceptance basis affects the recorded result. Educational workflows that reference NETA ATS-2025 and MTS-2023 — not a certification program.

What you will be able to do

  • State what each field test verifies and what it does not
  • Record a complete inspection with the data a reviewer needs
  • Explain how acceptance basis (ATS versus MTS) changes evaluation
  • Produce a documentation package that survives review

Prerequisites

  • Field experience with de-energised testing, or completion of Electrical Foundations

What counts as complete

All four modules marked complete. These modules build documentation practice; they do not qualify anyone to perform energised work.

Opening a lab never marks a module complete on its own.
