Coordinate Metrology Society launches certification program for laser tracker users

The Coordinate Metrology Society (CMS), Weatherford, Texas, has announced the availability of a level-two certification program for laser tracker users at its upcoming 2016 conference. This hands-on, device-specific performance examination is for portable laser tracking systems used for large-scale, in-place measurement of aircraft, automobiles, ships, and power-generation systems.

CMS-authorized proctors will conduct the assessment at CMSC 2016, July 25-29, 2016, at the Embassy Suites by Hilton in Murfreesboro, Tenn. Applicants for level-two certification must have a level-one certification, two years of experience (minimum 400 hours) using a laser tracker, and submit an application with two references who can confirm their hands-on expertise.

Level-one certification examinations and performance assessments for the level-two certification for articulating arms also will be conducted at CMSC 2016. All candidates must complete the application process and qualify to take either examination. Candidates are advised to start the application process in early 2016, and qualifying candidates will be notified within the specified process time.

Certification program guidelines, fees, and assessment sites can be found in the comprehensive certification handbook now available online for download at www.cmsc.org/cms-certification.
