To engage in this type of activity, it is necessary to obtain an appropriate education. In the specialty “metrology” with the qualification of technician, future specialists study electronic measuring instruments. They can get a secondary vocational education, and for subsequently occupying leadership positions, a higher education is required. In addition, people working in this field need to periodically improve their qualifications through courses, confirm their professional level with certificates, participate in seminars, and get acquainted with innovations in metrology and standardization.
For studying metrology abroad, universities such as the Institute of Education in Hong Kong, University of Malaya, UKM, UTM (also located in Malaysia) are suitable; in America, this profession is taught at the University of Georgia and Middle Tennessee State University, the University of Pennsylvania, Boston College, and other educational institutions.
During their studies, students master work with measuring instruments, get acquainted with methods and means of measuring various quantities. Professional practice in radio installation, adjustment and repair of radio equipment, electrical and metrological equipment greatly helps with this. Future specialists are trained in the fields of electronic engineering and circuit design, and they develop PC skills for modeling physical processes occurring in reality.
In America, there is also an international voluntary organization ATSM, which is open to anyone wishing to become a member or interested in such work.
