Manufacturing Skill Standards Council Testing

The Manufacturing Skill Standards Council (MSSC) is a non-profit, industry-led training assessment and certification system focused on the core skills and knowledge needed by front-line production and material handling workers. The nationwide MSSC System, based upon industry-defined and federally-endorsed standards, offers both entry-level and incumbent workers the opportunity to demonstrate that they have acquired the skills increasingly needed in the technology-intensive jobs of the 21st century.  MSSC offers two certifications: 

 

CPT certification

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 Production Modules: Safety; Quality Practices & Measurement; Manufacturing Processes & Production; Maintenance Awareness; and Green Production and a full Certified Production Technician (CPT) Certification to those who pass all four original modules (NOTE: At this time, Green is not a requirement for full CPT certification.)  

CLT certification

CLT certification addresses the core technical competencies of higher skilled, front-line material handling and distribution workers in all supply chain facilities from factories to warehouses, distribution centers and transporters. MSSC awards the foundational-level Certified Logistics Associate (CLA) certificate and the mid-level Certified Logistics Technician (CLT) certification. CLA is a prerequisite for CLT.
