(OP)
I am interested in getting started in the circuit breaker testing and maintenance field.  I would like to do this right, and am looking for some guidance in finding the training and certification programs that are required, and informative.  I would also appreciate some information on the equipment that I will need. I have been to the Megger web-sight and am considering perchasing a Multi-Amp model DDA-3000, any sugestions? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

RE: just getting started

b- ABB Circuit Breaker Plant- Greensburght, PA.
c- Alstom Circuit Breaker Plant- Pittsburg, PA.
d- Siemens Circuit Breaker Plant
e- GE/Hitachi.
