The organization offers certification for Industrial Technology professionals who have graduated from an accredited program in the field. In addition to obtaining an Industrial Technology degree, the applicant must pass a test of skills in four specific areas important to the discipline. These are: Production planning & Control, Occupational Safety, Quality, and Management & Supervision. There are two levels of certification offered: initially individuals obtain the credential "Certified Industrial Technologist" or CIT. Later, after years of experience and by completing additional continuing education units the holder can advance to the Certified Senior Industrial Technologists, CSIT, credential.
