SALT LAKE CITY, UT -- National Wireless Safety Alliance (NWSA) announced the organization has successfully completed the required ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) year four surveillance review process.
ANAB’s audit of NWSA occurs annually with an on-site inspection by ANAB auditors every other year as a requirement of its accreditation. ANAB requires specific data be submitted on an annual basis and only grants continued accreditation if all requirements are met.
The year four surveillance review process, led by an ANAB assessment team, ultimately concluded that based on the review of the materials, onsite assessments, and random sampling process, NWSA continues to meet all the requirements set forth in ISO/IEC 17024, as well as ANAB policies and procedures. ANAB’s decision is significant as it equates to continued accreditation to the ISO/EIC 17024 standard for the NWSA’s Telecommunications Tower Technician 1 (TTT-1) and Telecommunications Tower Technician 2 (TTT-2) certification programs.
“NWSA is excited to have received this positive year four surveillance review affirmation from ANAB regarding our organization’s industry-specific certification programs,” said Executive Director Duane MacEntee. “Achieving this continued ANSI accreditation news is validation that the NWSA continues to be the gold-standard for professional trade certification programs offered in the communications infrastructure industry. Today’s news enables us to further our mission by continuing to scale our certification programs which ensure that NWSA-certified technicians are deploying wireless carrier network equipment at communication tower sites across the country in a safe and quality manner,” added MacEntee.
Industry workers, companies and stakeholders are encouraged to visit the NWSA website at www.nws-a.org to learn more about the organization and how to begin the process of obtaining certification.
