text: telecom testing is a general phone company/ telecomunications company term. It's a very general term that could mean testing of some sort of voice/data equipment. you could look into a national certification call Network+ from ComTia. That could be a great introduction to this industry. Then you could look into a CCNA certification that seems to be a hot certification right now from Cisco. Do some reading on that, and I hope that will help you out.
