Mechatronics Certifications | PMMI
Over the next decade, two million manufacturing jobs are expected to go unfilled in the United States because of the lack of qualified workers. As processing and packaging equipment becomes more technologically advanced, developing a skilled workforce is critical.
Why Mechatronics?
Employers need multi-skilled workers to operate, maintain, and troubleshoot automated equipment on the plant floor. To achieve this, workers require mechatronics skills.
Mechatronics is essential for:
- Industrial maintenance technicians.
- Maintenance mechanics.
- Installation, maintenance, and repair workers.
- Production, Automation and Logistics technicians, and more.
Associate Certifications Levels I-IV
Associate level certifications are for operators and fully prepare them for that occupation or can be used as an enhancement to incumbent IT, maintenance technicians, and others. The Associate level contains 4 sequential certifications that work at the high school, first year of college, Associates degree, or as a certificate for incumbent workers.
Specialist Certifications - 3 Strands - Levels I & II
The Specialist certifications certify Industry 4.0 technical skills in troubleshooting, programming, maintaining, and integrating systems. Three strands are offered to match with key skilled occupations. Each specialist strand includes two levels, I and II: Certified Industry 4.0 Automation Systems Specialist, Certified Industry 4.0 Production Systems Specialist, & Certified Industry 4.0 IT Operations Specialist. The specialist certifications are modular certifications consisting of a series of micro-credentials, each with its own examination. Once an individual has obtained the core micro-credentials, a Specialist certification is granted by SACA. The specialist certifications are organized into the core and elective micro-credentials. The core credentials certify the skills that are applicable to all companies, while the elective credentials can be added by the individual to match with regional or specific company needs.
Professional Certifications Level I
The Industry 4.0 Professional certification is an engineering level certification that focuses on design and optimization of Industry 4.0 systems. It is designed in a modular format, similar to the Specialist certifications. This certification is intended to build on selected micro-credentials from the Associate and Specialist certifications.

Low Cost, High Skill Portable Simulators Can Help Ease Manufacturing Workforce Shortage
Let's face it - with over 2 million U.S. manufacturing jobs going unfilled because applicants lack the required skills, we have an urgent and critical need for manufacturing training. Companies and community colleges are desperately trying to fill this skills gap, and portable simulators, also called trainers, may provide the edge that they need to be successful. Portable simulators are rapidly gaining popularity in educational and industrial training facilities because they require less space than full-size simulators and consequently, come at a significantly lower price.
