The Instrumentation, Systems and Automation Society (ISA) is accepting applications until 1st September for its new Certified Automation Professional (CAP) programme.

The Instrumentation, Systems and Automation Society (ISA) is accepting applications until 1st September for its new Certified Automation Professional (CAP) programme.

The CAP exam debuts on 7th October at the 2004 ISA Expo in Houston Texas.

Subsequent exams will be given 9th October and 11th December at select locations.

The creation of the CAP programme is a milestone in the automation field.

CAP will be the first programme to comprehensively test the general disciplines automation professionals need for today's work environment.

According to Alan Carty, cofounder, President and CEO of Automationtechies.com: "If you're going to be testing an [automation professional] today you've got to be testing him or her on not just those traditional technologies that were around 10 to 15 years ago, but on the things that he or she needs to know today in order to do the job".

Carty, who also participated in the team that identified the key disciplines in the automation field, stresses that CAP should be well suited to test aptitude with the IT technologies that are changing the automation landscape.

ISA provides additional information about the CAP programme on its website, including eligibility requirements, exam dates, key knowledge and skills, a detailed programme handbook, and a study guide that's available for purchase.

Anyone interested in taking the CAP exam on 7th October can apply through the website.
