I was doing my ETOPS PDC and found forward and aft ELT's with date of next inspection 5 plus months out of date. The people doing inspections on emergency equipment are not doing their job. Have the equipment checked more often and done by people who are more qualified.
Mechanic reported finding two ELT's out of date during a routine inspection.
