MSSC Certified Logistics Technician Program & CLA and CLT Training Courses Nationwide in the U.S.
The Manufacturing Skill Standards Council (MSSC) is an industry-led, training, assessment and certification system focused on the core skills and knowledge needed by the nation’s front-line production and material handling workers.
The nationwide MSSC System, based upon industry-defined and federally-endorsed standards, offers both entry-level and incumbent workers the opportunity to demonstrate that they have acquired the skills increasingly needed in the technology-intensive jobs of the 21st century.
MSSC has been accredited under the International ISO 17024 Standard. This makes MSSC the first national certification body accredited under this international standard for manufacturing and logistics.
This is a welcome further recognition of the quality and long-standing leadership of MSSC in the field of industry-recognized national certification. Much work remains to be done to enable MSSC to credential the bulk of the front-line industrial workforce.
MSSC Courses have earned a college credit recommendation from the National College Credit Recommendation Service (NCCRS) for all modules of Certified Logistics Technician (CLT) programs.
