(PRWEB) July 16, 2004 -- ISA Releases Study Guide for New Automation Professionals Certification
ISA - The Instrumentation, Systems, and Automation Society has released its study guide for the new Certified Automation Professional (CAP) program. The guide provides practice questions and answers for the upcoming CAP examinations, which will start October 7th at ISA EXPO 2004.
The CAP exam will focus on six performance domains that demonstrate an automation professionals ability to identify, design, and integrate appropriate automation technology in a manufacturing facility: Feasibility Study, Definition, System Design, Development, Deployment, and Operation and Maintenance.
Over the past five years nontraditional" computing technology has changed the automation professionals skill set. The CAP program both reflects and addresses the fundamental trend in new automation technology.
There was a diverse group of people involved with developing CAP," says Alan Carty, founder, president, and CEO of Automationtechies.com. Carty, who was a member of the group that identified the skills and knowledge set CAP would test, emphasizes the fact that many of CAPs developers were highly technical people, who would certainly know that if you are going to be testing an [automation engineer today you've got to be testing him on not just those traditional technologies that were around 10 to 15 years ago, but testing them on the things that [they need to do today in order to do the job."
CAP is the first certification program specifically designed to test automation professionals for competency in their field.
Copies of the exam study guide can be ordered through the CAP website, which is available at www.isa.org/cap. The website also features detailed information about the program including exam dates, key knowledge and skills, and a detailed program handbook.
