• Certified Manufacturing Practitioner
  • The Certified Manufacturing Practitioner award has been developed to create a recognised qualification for managers of manufacturing organisations.

    It has been designed to combine generic management knowledge with manufacturing experience.

    As the professional body for Manufacturing, the Institute of Manufacturing encourages all members to apply for the Certified Manufacturing Practitioner designation.
