Vermont Business Magazine MSI is hosting a Certified Production Technician (CPT) course offered through Community College of Vermont (CCV - http://ccv.edu/explore-ccv-programs/credentials-training/certified-production-technician/) for 15 interested employees at their Morrisville headquarters. The Manufacturing Skill Standards Council created the Certified Production Technician Credentialing as a new set of tools to ensure that both entering and incumbent workers are flexible, easily trainable, and highly motivated knowledge workers able to keep pace with technological change—the “Industrial Athlete of the Future.” CPT is the only certification in manufacturing which has been accredited by the American National Standards Institute under ISO standard 17024.
“Certified Production Technician AE (CPTAE)” certificates are awarded to individuals who pass any or all of its five Production modules: Safety; Quality Practices & Measurement; Manufacturing Processes & Production, Maintenance Awareness and Green Production. Each module takes about a month.
