The Mobile Electronics Certified Professional Program was developed in 1991 by several 12-volt industry volunteers. The group, consisting of installers, manufacturers and retailers, wanted to bring a higher level of professionalism to installers through a national certification program. Currently, MECP is the only industry supported, nationally recognized certification program for 12-volt installers and sales staff. The program is guided by the association's Mobile Electronics Division Certification Committee.
The program has certified over 20,000 installers since 1991, with more than 6,000 holding current certificates in one of three areas: Bronze, Silver, and Gold Levels.
