Reston, Va.; June 18, 2015 — PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies,
announces the release of two new study guides to accompany PMMI’s Mechatronics Certificate tests -

mechatronics certificate tests," says Maria Ferrante, vice president, Education & Workforce Development,
PMMI. "They were produced in an effort to give certificate candidates a thorough understanding of what
skills they are expected to have mastered in order to earn the credential."

employee qualifications," says Frank Claude, Principal Instructor Robotics & Manufacturing, Dunwoody
