Benefits of Becoming a Certified Vision Professional

Professionals in technical fields know it’s crucial to stay aware of the latest advances in your industry. This is particularly important in machine vision, where innovations happen frequently and a skill development plan is crucial.

For a long time, machine vision has been a diverse field with many integrators, OEMS, and others. Now, a greater push toward standardization is taking place. Across all sectors of the industry, interoperability is growing – for both physical interfaces and software codecs.

This represents a great opportunity for professionals.

With that in mind, those with long-term aspirations in machine vision are taking credentials seriously – and the leading credential in the field is the Certified Vision Professional, which offers Basic and Advanced levels to cover all needs.

What about those who have been in the field longer or have already passed the basic level exam? The Certified Vision Professional Advanced level curriculum is the right choice. It covers a range of topics for seasoned experts:

• Color theory and applications;
• Vision application development;
• 3D and non-visible imaging technology;
• High-speed and line scan system design;
• Over a half dozen other major topics!

Both Basic and Advanced classes and certification will be available at the AIA Vision Show in Boston, Massachusetts this May 3-5. If you’ve been looking for the right time to add to your professional skills, this could be the opportunity!
