ETA RFID validates the knowledge needed to understand, configure, maintain, and troubleshoot RFID systems that combine electronics, RF communication, tags, readers, antennas, software, and NFC-related workflows.
ETA’s catalog lists RFID as a Journeyman or stand-alone certification with maintenance required, a 4-year term, no hands-on requirement, 75 questions, a 75% passing score, and 2 hours allowed to test.
Study active and passive tags, readers, antennas, transceivers, coupling methods, read zones, frequency behavior, protocols, standards, middleware and software, NFC, asset and inventory applications, installation planning, configuration, testing, and maintenance.
Preparation should include DC/AC theory, Ohm’s law, Watts law, Kirchhoff’s law, RLC circuits, semiconductors, RF safety, interference sources, read reliability, signal path problems, privacy, security, and diagnostic workflow.

ETA Radio Frequency Identification Technical Specialist (RFID) is intended for electronics technicians who understand RFID hardware and the theory of radio communications as applied to RFID radio transceiver technology. ETA's competency outline describes the RFID technical specialist as someone with working fundamental knowledge of electronics communication principles and the ability to perform configuration and maintenance of RFID hardware and software, including NFC.
ETA's certification catalog lists RFID as a Journeyman or Stand-Alone certification with maintenance required, a 4-year term, no hands-on requirement, 75 questions, a 75% passing score, and 2 hours allowed to test. Preparation should cover basic DC and AC electrical theory, Ohm's law, Watts law, Kirchhoff's law, series and parallel circuits, RLC circuits, semiconductors, RFID fundamentals, tags, readers, antennas, RF transceivers, frequencies, coupling methods, protocols, NFC, middleware/software, asset and inventory applications, read zones, interference, installation planning, configuration, testing, troubleshooting, security, privacy, standards, and maintenance workflow.
ETA Radio Frequency Identification Technical Specialist (RFID) is a credential for electronics technicians who understand RFID hardware, RFID radio transceiver theory, and configuration and maintenance of RFID hardware and software, including NFC.
ETA’s certification catalog lists 75 questions on the RFID exam.
ETA lists a 75% passing score for RFID.
No. ETA’s catalog lists no hands-on requirement for the RFID certification.
Yes. ETA lists RFID as Journeyman or stand-alone, and the catalog notes it can be used as a Journeyman option when the Associate exam is also taken and passed.
Review electrical laws, DC and AC circuit behavior, semiconductors, and RF communication principles before moving into RFID-specific devices.
Map how the reader, antenna, tag, frequency band, protocol, and software layer interact for common identification and inventory scenarios.
Practice solving placement, orientation, range, interference, shielding, reflection, and environmental issues that affect RFID reliability.
Cover Near Field Communications, middleware, edge software, data handoff, configuration settings, and maintenance procedures.
Separate hardware faults, antenna placement, RF interference, tag selection, protocol mismatch, software configuration, and security/privacy problems.
Use the guide to self-serve, or talk to a coordinator if you need help mapping timelines, official requirements, or troubleshooting day-of logistics.
