The Manufacturing Skill Standards Council (MSSC),the nation’s leading industry certification body for front-line technicians in advanced manufacturing, is pleased to announce its selection of Houston Community College as a MSSC Master Training Center.
Houston Community College is authorized to offer training to instructors to deliver MSSC’s CPT 4.0 e-learning courseware, and its hands-on Certified Production Technician Plus (CPT+) program using the highly innovative “Skill Boss” training and testing device invented by Amatrol, the nation’s leading manufacturer of industrial technician training equipment.
Instead of using a single national MSSC instructor training center in Indiana, CPT 4.0 and CPT+ Instructor candidates from Texas can now access their professional training at lower cost and less time within their own state. In addition to training CPT 4.0 & CPT+ Instructors, this Master Training Center at Houston Community College will also offer CPT+ training and testing to individual students enrolled in education and training institutions in Texas that do not yet have “Skill Boss” devices.
According to MSSC Chair, Leo Reddy, “Houston Community College met all of MSSC’s criteria for serving as a state Master Training Center: a strong track record of delivering MSSC courses and assessments; two or more ‘Skill Boss’ devices; and MSSC-trained CPT Instructors who has passed the MSSC’s Three-Day Master CPT+ Training course.”
The CPT+ Master Trainers at Houston Community College are Roberto Sanchez, Shawn Trumbo, Joseph Grisales, Alberto Flores and Aldopho Bibian.
Warner Brown, President of Tech-Labs, MSSC Training Solution Provider for the state of Texas, adds “Technical-Laboratories’ goals are to help educators prepare students for the technology of tomorrow by delivering equipment, curriculum and software that will help students overcome the challenges of the 21st Century. We are pleased to partner with the MSSC’s Houston Community College Master Training Center and look forward to a successful future together.”
