The Industry's #1 Resource


Nashville, TN – October 9th, 2024 - The Mobile Electronics Certified Professional Program (MECP) understands the wide range of effects a catastrophic natural disaster or event can cause, from damage from wind, flooding, and excessive rain and moisture to business loss from consumers whose priorities shift from nice-to-have accessories to required food, shelter, and medical supplies.

The recovery and rebuilding process also has several phases, which can be complicated for business owners trying to navigate their businesses through the catastrophe, manage employees, and formulate a strategy to rebound.

MECP is offering free certification courses and exams to help those who are safe but waiting for their business or suppliers to reopen. We aim to keep you and your employees productive and engaged in job-related activities, even if they cannot be at the store. This support can be part of your strategy to reopen with a more efficient staff, demonstrating your commitment to serving your recovering customers more effectively.

You are eligible for this support if you work in or manage a store, distributor, or fleet technician team from Cedar Key through Ormond Beach on the Northern end and from Marco Island through Miami on the Southern end. We value your contribution to the industry and are here to assist you. Requests should be made by December 15th, 2024. You can request our assistance here: https://bit.ly/MECPhurricanemilton
