#### Description

SME's Certified Manufacturing Associate (CMfgA) is an industry certification focused on basic manufacturing concepts, demonstrating an individual's potential for high-demand, entry-level manufacturing roles. It was designed for individuals new to manufacturing who may not currently possess enough knowledge or experience for more advanced technical certifications.

For example, if you are a high school student, dislocated worker, or an individual coming from other non-manufacturing sectors who wishes to pursue a role as an assembler, manufacturing associate, production associate, production laborer, or other entry-level manufacturing occupations—this course could be right for you. It is not required that you be an SME member to pursue the certification and begin work towards becoming a certified manufacturing specialist.

This industry-driven certification course demonstrates that you have basic knowledge of manufacturing and may be an ideal candidate for entry-level manufacturing employment. Fundamental topics covered in your course include shop math, assembly, maintenance, machining, inspection, and more.

The CMfgA credential offers an initial step into a technology-rich industry filled with opportunities for continued growth and advancement into higher-level positions. After completing your course and earning the CMfgA, SME encourages you to explore a variety of available career pathways in manufacturing and continue with training or education to earn more advanced technical certifications. The CMfgA can also be a first step and feeder into more advanced technical certifications, offering careers with higher pay and skills.

This course offers enrollment with or without a voucher. The voucher covers the cost of the certifying exam upon eligibility.
