Highlights

The Robotics Certification Standards Alliance (RCSA) is a global company that has been actively providing robotics curriculums, training, online testing systems and certification since 1998.

RCSA first started with partnerships with Motoman and Private Career Colleges in Canada. The partnerships grew to have included ABB, Motoman and Panasonic.

In 2006 RCSA was invited to join the American Welding Society (AWS) D16 committee to provide robotics and testing expertise in the development of America’s first robotic welding exam (CRAW). RCSA accepted this challenge and worked alongside Lincoln Electric Automation, ABB and Wolf Robotics to develop the details and procedures of the CRAW which was launched in June 2008.

In 2009 the RCSA redesigned the AWS CRAW course to fit the needs of a global market. This International Robotic Welding Certification (Certified Robotic Welder - CRW) was developed and launched early 2010.

The RCSA gained recognition in 2009 by the Government of Canada and the Ministry of Training Colleges and Universities (MTCU) as the robotics subject matter experts in North America. Also in 2009 the Certified Industrial Robotics Programmers (CIRP) course became a fully recognized and registered course available to students by the MTCU. It is here that the CIRP hands on training course, along with industry leaders Panasonic and Motoman teach practical, job ready and job demand practicum’s.

With the continued global expansion the RCSA is currently offering services in Korea, China, Philippines, USA and Mexico as projects all already in process. The RCSA goal of Benchmarking Robotic Technology with global standardization in all fields of robotics is starting to take fold and International Certification is leading the way.

Benchmarking Industrial Robotic Certifications Globally

The Robotics Certification Standards Alliance (RCSA) is a global company that has been actively providing robotics curriculums, training, online testing systems and certification since 1998.

RCSA Certification Advantages

Although not a substitute for on-the- job experience, the training that accompanies certification prepares you for quicker and higher levels of employment or advancement. The rigorous and thorough work of this partnership has resulted in the creation of a special and fast growing pool of certified programmers with the ability to increase productivity.

Training Partners

Since 1998 RCSA has joined forces with several Robotic Manufacturers and Educators around the world. These partnerships will fill the fast-growing need for skilled automation programmers. Companies like Yaskawa Motoman Canada, Panasonic and Robar will provide the skilled training in their cutting edge advanced robotic technology training facilities and RCSA will administer the exams.

 

Mission

Our focus is to establish standards for robotic training in the fields of programming, maintenance and technical competency.
