Certified Production Technician (CPT)
The Certified Production Technician is a nationally portable, industry-led program that prepares and certifies individuals for career pathways in advanced manufacturing. The goal of the CPT 4.0 certification program is to raise the level of performance of production technicians starting or advancing their career and to provide value to employers.
The CPT Certification addresses the core technical competencies of higher skilled production workers in all sectors of manufacturing. MSSC awards certificates to individuals who pass any of its four Production Modules: Safety, Maintenance Awareness, Manufacturing Processes & Production, and Quality Practices & Measurement; and a full Certified Production Technician 4.0 (CPT) Certificate to those who pass all four original modules.
