What Is the MECP Certification?

The Mobile Electronics Certified Professional (MECP) program is the only nationally recognized credential that certifies mobile technology installation technicians and sales people on automotive information technology, entertainment, navigation, safety and security systems. MECP is owned and operated by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA)™.
