just getting started

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,

c- Alstom Circuit Breaker Plant- Pittsburg, PA.
