About SCTE®

Founded in 1945, the SCTE® is a non-profit, Learned Society. The Society is run by an Executive Committee whose volunteer members are elected for a term of three years at the Society’s AGM. 

The Executive Committee elects three officers; a President, Vice-President and Treasurer who also act as trustees for the Society, whose offices are based in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire. The SCTE also has satellite offices in Benelux, the Balkans and India, and has members worldwide. 

The organisation’s mission is to uphold standards industry-wide and to that end provides comprehensive training courses, lectures, events, webinars, podcasts and publications throughout the year. Members are encouraged to participate in order to maximise their very affordable subscription fees. 

The SCTE® offers training courses, accreditation and certification for its members, giving them professional standing within the industry. Full Members and Fellows are allowed to use the designations MSCTE and FSCTE after their names. Technician and student members can use TMSCTE and SMSCTE respectively after their name.

The Society chairs the British Standards Committee for cable systems and represents the UK at European (CENELEC) and world (IEC) levels.
