MIC partners with international automation certifiers

THE MIC Institute of Technology (MIC-IT) has announced its membership in the Smart Automation Certification Alliance (SACA), which will allow students completing training to get international certification in courses that will prepare them for the job market during the fourth industrial revolution.

In a media release shared on August 4, MIC-IT said students will be able to acquire SACA certification in several IT courses, including electrical systems 1; electrical motor control systems 1; electrical system; installation 1; programmable controller systems 1; pneumatic systems 1; industry 4.0 total productive maintenance; hydraulic systems 1; and hydraulic maintenance 1.

“SACA certification is developed for today’s technological industry and is internationally recognised, ensuring that our SACA certified students are market ready for industry 4.0 jobs,” said MIC-IT’s general manager, training division, Dr Brian James. “Today’s students face a far different industrial landscape than existed a decade ago.

"While automation technologies have been common place for many years, the internet has brought about a convergence of new 'connected' technologies that is revolutionising industries worldwide.”

SACA is a non-profit organisation whose mission is to develop modular industry 4.0 certifications.

SACA’s certifications certify what are described as “connected systems” skills that address the integration of the many types of advanced manufacturing technologies with Industry 4.0 technology.
