WISE for Retailers

WISE Certified retail locations meet industry-recognized standards with trained, certified technicians on staff. These essential businesses are 100% committed to customer excellence in servicing mobile devices.


WISE for Technicians

WISE offers two levels of technician certification. A Level 1 WISE certified technician is a technician who has passed the WISE Certification Knowledge Exam and is considered qualified to repair or resolve issues without opening the device. This certification is suggested for wireless device repair technicians working in depot or remanufacturing facilities, customer-facing retail, and remote environments.

A Level 2 WISE certified technician has successfully passed the WISE Level 1 Knowledge Exam and completed a training program facilitated by a licensed Authorized Training Administrator (ATA). Level 2 certification promotes the technician as an advanced-level technician.
