Program Overview
The Medical Device Manufacturing: Processes and Practices Workforce Training microcredential certificate program includes a series of four courses addressing the competencies outlined by the medical device industry and covers the basic core knowledge and skills required for entry-level positions in a medical device, lab, or diagnostics business. Each course covers a different aspect of manufacturing and aligns with international industry-recognized standards.
