MCA Update
The MCA Committee welcomed two sessions of exam candidates in Medfield on October 3 and 4 . The amount of knowledge required to pass the exam is considerable and this group came well prepared . Congratulations to our newest MCAs and kudos to everyone who attempted the exam , many for the first time .
Current MCAs , please make note of your credit accumulation to date as the year draws to a close . There are several upcoming opportunities to earn education or safety credits at MAA events . And remember that if you need Electrical Hazard Awareness Training , MAA continues to offer the three-part webinar series from Dr . John Ball .
The MCA Committee will be working this winter to revise sections of the exam to keep them fresh . The next exam is in April and it ’ s always a popular one so get your exam registration in early !
