Roll Form Operator Skilled Trade Certificate Program
Establish your credentials in the area of roll forming with FMA's skilled trade program! With a Roll Form Operator Skilled Trade Certificate, you confirm to an employer the valuable technical skills you bring to your position. Your investment of time and effort in completing some basic program requirements can pay off many times over in enhanced standing and earning power on the job.
"In the roll forming industry, operator training on equipment and tooling is vital. A certificate type of training program ensures consistency in both the evaluation and training of operators using sound principles."
—Scott McMeekan, President, Ferret, Inc.
In response to the industry's need for a recognized standard, FMA's Roll Forming Technology Council has developed a program that evaluates your skills and supplements them with strategic training. Past experience and formal schooling (which you will be asked to verify with documentation) count toward the certificate.
There are four levels of certificate available, so that operators can move up the ladder of success as they gain experience: Operator Level 1, 2, and 3, as well as Technician Level 4. Knowledge of basic SPC, blueprint reading, and industrial safety, combined with practical work experience on a roll forming line is all you need to get started on the Level 1 certificate.
Once FMA receives your completed application and supporting papers, it reviews your application to verify what skill level you is at. Next comes classroom instruction. The course includes hands-on exercises and a test to gauge your comprehension of the curriculum. Classroom sessions will be offered twice a year. The Roll Form Operator Skilled Trade Certificate is available upon successful completion of the class work and exam.
