Eligibility Requirements
The IEEE WCET is a broad-based examination that assesses knowledge of the entire wireless communication engineering field. If you have never been a wireless communication engineering practitioner, or do not plan to become one, you will need to evaluate whether it is appropriate for you to take this examination. The IEEE WCET examination is intended for professionals who develop and implement all types of wireless communication in countries throughout the world.

To be eligible to sit for the IEEE WCET examination, candidates must meet the following criteria:

1. Candidates must have a degree from an accredited college or university (accredited in the country where the institution is located) and at least three years of graduate-level educational or professional wireless communication engineering experience, OR
2. Candidates must be IEEE members* and have at least three years of graduate-level educational or professional wireless communication engineering experience.

A person has the required level of professional experience when at least 51 percent of the candidate's daily activities are within the wireless communication engineering function and where those activities are at the professional level.

The examination reflects current wireless communication engineering practices. Although the three years of professional wireless communication engineering experience need not be current or sequential, recent experience is more likely to coincide with the content of the examination.

The IEEE WCET certification program does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, or disability. IEEE Membership is not a requirement to qualify to take the exam and nothing in the preceding statements should be so interpreted.

Eligibility Review Panel
Eligibility is determined based on applicant answers to the two Education and Industry Experience questions on the application. By answering "Yes", the applicant agrees to provide supporting documentation, if requested, as part of a random audit by the Eligibillity Review Panel. Answering "I Don't Know" will enable contact with the Eligibility Review Panel to resolve your uncertainty.

*Full IEEE member indicates member, graduate student member, fellow and life member grades.
