The Manufacturing Professional Accreditation System is a structured classification framework designed to elevate the expertise of manufacturing professionals, ensuring excellence in industrial practices within the Sultanate. This system helps organizations assess the competencies and qualifications of manufacturing professionals, optimizing their skills for better productivity. Additionally, it safeguards the industry from unqualified practices, ensuring high-quality manufacturing standards.
Through the accreditation system, we verify academic and technical qualifications through trusted verification partners. Then, we can also evaluate experience, skills, and professional competencies.
