IoT System TechnologiesCertificate Program

In addition to technical expertise, working in the IoT era requires common understanding of the mechanisms of IoT systems and an overarching view. Because IoT is likely to bring about major reforms to business and industries, technicians as well as management and sales staff will need to become literate in these technologies to make transformation with IoT a success. Responding to these demands, MCPC has systemized 8 IoT core technological areas of study through cooperation with many experts, and has created the easy-to-learn “IoT Technologies Text”. We also offer an “IoT System Technologies Certificate Program” for all levels from the sales staff through to the top engineers.

To pass the examination, candidates must take a specialized technical lecture on building and using an IoT system, and submit an essay.
