In order to become a qualified elevator technician, and be able to apply for a technical job at Kone, you must have passed the Elevator Industry Aptitude Test (EIAT). The EIAT was developed by the National Elevator Industry Education Program (NEIEP), and primarily focuses on arithmetic computation, reading comprehension, and mechanical comprehension.

The EIAT is scored on a pass or fail basis, with 70% being the minimum for passing. The EIAT does penalize for incorrect answers. Therefore, if you’re unsure about an answer, it’s better to guess than leave it blank.
