Difference Between NICET III and IV Tests?

7/17/2019

3 Comments

 
What is difference in the content in the NICET Level III and Level IV (water based layout)?

I am getting ready to test for the Level IV, I have read the test content outline from NICET, but just was wondering if it was more of the same (NICET Level III) or concentrated on certain topics. This is taking in consideration that the content outline from NICET has been read. The only designer I know with a NICET IV, tested with elements years ago. Thanks for any the time and help.

I passed mine on the 2nd time. Obscure questions about project management, contracts, etc. A few technical questions but not really much you can study for.

Mike is correct with his response. The primary difference between level III and IV is ascertaining a candidate's skill set in Project Management. I wouldn't say the questions are obscure, but some are generally questions that you would probably been exposed to in order to know the answer quickly. There will be some knowledge questions as well that are standard based, including FM.
