In fact, WorkBC reports that trained electronics technicians are in very high demand.</p> <p>Jobs are not limited to servicing computers either. Electronics control everything from ATM machines to cell phone towers, telecom stations, satellites, traffic lights, medical equipment, power plants, and more.</p> <p>UFV’s Electronics Technician certificate prepares you for entry-level jobs in the workplace or further studies in areas of specialization such as automation and robotics, avionics, computer hardware and networking, consumer electronics, digital manufacturing, telecommunications, or renewable energy. </p> <p>Under the supervision of dedicated instructors, you learn to install, troubleshoot and fix electronic equipment. You get hands-on experience using diagnostic equipment and learn how to calibrate, install, and repair complex systems, while following equipment manuals.</p> <p>In this fast-paced field, odds are good that you may move to a supervisory or management position within five to 10 years after graduation. You may consider completing business courses to prepare, such as UFV’s Business Administration degree in Trades Management. Or you may choose to pursue an advanced specialty program such as UFV's Automation and Robotics diploma or Digital Manufacturing diploma.  </p></p> <div class="call-to-action"> <a class="btn btn-success btn-lg call-to-action-btn" onClick="_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'landing page', 'click', 'electronics']);" title="Get the details" href="/electronics/" target="_blank">Get the details</a> </div> </div> <div class="row"></div>  <div id="career-outlook" class="col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-lg-6" style="float:right; background-color:#e55200;"> <h2>Career outlook for Electronics Technician training</h2> <p>Electronics technicians have their pick of industries.
