SACA Custom Specialist Certifications validate technical competencies defined by an individual employer, industry sector, or regional workforce initiative. These certifications are designed to certify the skills required for specific job roles, production environments, technologies, and operating procedures.

Like SACA's standard Specialist certifications, Custom Specialist Certifications combine hands-on performance assessments with online knowledge assessments. However, the competency requirements, assessment content, and certification requirements are customized to reflect the real-world skills and expectations of the sponsoring organization.
