How are avionics technicians certificated?

Sounds good to me. Check FCC and FAA rules, part 43 and 65
for FAA, as well as 91. FCC you;will need to look for the
special endorsements.
Talk to your local A&P/AI and make arrangements for
supervision and endorsements of work in progress and
finished for return to service.
