Certified Production Technician

Learning Outcomes

The CPT program consists of five key areas of focus. Learners can earn individual certificates for each one:

• Safety
• Quality Practices & Measurement
• Manufacturing Processes & Production
• Maintenance Awareness
• Green Production (optional)

If candidates receive all of the first four certificates, they will receive the full production technician (CPT 4.0) certification. See specification document for more details about the skills and competencies covered in each of these topic areas.

In response to the growing adoption of Industry 4.0 in manufacturing, MSSC has embedded nine Industry 4.0 technologies into the CPT 4.0 program, including 5G, artificial intelligence (AI), the industrial internet of things (IIoT), additive manufacturing (3D), autonomous robots, augmented reality, data analytics, nanomanufacturing, and advanced materials.
