We define front-line production workers as entry-level through first level of supervision within all sectors of the manufacturing industry. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (2024), there are about 9 million jobs in this category in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>MSSC is a leading, nationwide national certification body. Those who succeed in MSSC assessments receive industry-recognized, nationally portable MSSC credentials. The CPT+ program was developed by industry experts and is updated annually to ensure that the skills assessed are the most relevant to today\u2019s manufacturing employers.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-6\" style=\"transform:translate3d(0,0,0);\"><h3>Program Description<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The purpose of the Certified Production Technician program is to recognize through certification individuals who demonstrate mastery of the core competencies of manufacturing production at the front-line level (entry-level through front-line supervisor) through successful completion of the certification assessments. The goal of the CPT+ certification program is to raise the level of performance of production workers both to assist the individuals in finding higher-wage jobs and to help employers ensure their workforce increases the company\u2019s productivity and competitiveness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The CPT+ program consists of four required individual modules:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Safety<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quality Practices &amp; Measurement<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Manufacturing Processes &amp; Production<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maintenance Awareness<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Candidates must pass all four modules to receive the <\/span><b>full CPT+ certification<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

MSSC courses are highly interactive and utilize state-of-the- art, computer-based, simulation e-learning technologies and are delivered by MSSC-Authorized Instructors.
