MSSC Certified Production Technician (CPT)

The MSSC Certified Production Technician certification is the nationally recognized certification supported by the National Association of Manufacturers. The training will enable workers to build the core knowledge and skills required in modern advanced manufacturing. This course will validate the certification of the worker's technical, academic, and employability skills needed in the modern manufacturing environment. The four modules comprising the course are:

  1. Safety
  2. Maintenance Awareness
  3. Quality and Continuous Improvement
  4. Manufacturing Process and Production

The Certified Production Technician certification is awarded to those who successfully pass the four component examinations.

MSSC has embedded these technologies in its 2020 Industry 4.0 Edition of its National Production Standards. These technologies include:

  • 5G Artificial Intelligence (AI)
  • Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT)
  • Additive (3D) Manufacturing
  • Autonomous Robots
  • Augmented Reality
  • Data Analytics
  • Nanomanufacturing
  • Advanced Materials

As of 2021, these Industry 4.0 technologies are fully integrated into the CPT program. MSSC manufacturing certificates and certifications issued will be re-labelled CPT 4.0. MSSC's goal is to provide CPT 4.0 technicians with a foundational understanding of these technologies on which to build as their companies use them in various ways on the factory floor.

Employee registration is coordinated by the Program Manager supporting your training. Depending on the course, employees may register in person, through an organization-provided roster, or via a self-registration link. Your Program Manager will guide you through the best option for your specific training.
