FANUC introduces four new National Certifications for Robotics and Advanced Automation Manufacturing

FANUC introduces the first ever National Certifications for Robot Operations, Programming and Integrated Vision. This industry-education development represents an 18-month initiative that brought together subject matter experts from industry, automation systems integrators, leading advisors and instructors from high school, community colleges, and universities all focused on preparing a pipeline of talent with the core competencies and automation technology skills for today’s manufacturing industry. With these challenging and thorough national certification assessments, students and workers are able to document their knowledge and fill high demand, high paying, and exciting career opportunities in Robotics and Advanced Manufacturing.

The skills and knowledge required to obtain these new national certifications are delivered through the largest network of well-established secondary and post-secondary schools and training institutions offering FANUC CERT (Certified Education Training) programs with hands-on applied technology in robotics and advanced manufacturing.

FANUC CERT - NOCTI Certification Levels and Descriptions

FANUC America, together with NOCTI developed the four industry recognized national certification programs which include two levels of FANUC Certified Robot Operator (FCR-O1 & FRC-O2) and two levels of FANUC Certified Technician (FCR-T1 & FCR-T2) indicates an operator level of skill and knowledge. Students with this level have a basic understanding of robot operations and programming, material handling and its components, and introduction to Roboguide simulation software. These certification programs are focused on the core Robot Operator skills needed by entry level or incumbent workers.
