Expert Level Press Operator Certification
NCSS National Council for Skill Standards Review and Examination
The National Skill Standard Board was established after The U.S. Departments of Education and Labor joined together to develop voluntary skill standards, benchmarked to the highest standards of America's International Competitors.
The purpose of the Flexo Expert Press Operator Certification program is to review, test and certify "Expert Level" Press Operators in the Flexographic Industry. The exam was developed in conjunction with the FTA and assesses knowledge at an expert level of performance. It facilitates the ability of flexo printers to benchmark their operators knowledge against predefined industry standards across a full knowledge base of the processes involved to produce repeatable quality flexographic print.
APR is honored to be approved to proctor the examination and offers a two-day review course designed to be taken just prior to taking the exam. All APR trainers have been Classified and Certified as "Expert Level Press Operators" by the NCSS.
