Specialist Certifications

SACA’s Specialist certifications certify Industry 4.0 technical skills in troubleshooting, programming, maintaining, and integrating systems. Specialist certifications are offered in three strands to match with key skilled occupations: automation, production, and IT systems. Each strand offers two levels of certification to reflect different levels of expertise.

Specialist certifications are modular certifications, consisting of a series of core and elective micro-credentials, each with its own hands-on practical assessment and a written (online) knowledge assessment. Core micro-credentials certify skills that are applicable to all companies, while elective micro-credentials can be added to match with regional or specific company needs.
