De-mystify digitalisation for your SME with our new certficate

We have launched a suite of online courses to help manufacturing SMEs join the digital revolution sweeping through industry.

The three-part certificate – Practical Steps to Digitalising Your Manufacturing Business Certificate – is aimed at helping UK manufacturers embrace the latest digital technologies to improve their businesses.

The CPD-accredited course was designed by our digital manufacturing and SME experts and will introduce you to new strategies to build your business, exploiting the wide range of digital manufacturing technologies already available or coming on stream.

You will learn about digital strategy development, understanding technology, data engineering, enabling connectivity, automation and robotics and digital product design and development. The course is designed for senior decision-makers and engineers in manufacturing and engineering SMEs who are looking to add digital capability to your businesses.

The series of three self-guided online courses deliver best-practice principles, concepts and guidance, supported by real-life SME case studies and expert insights. The first course explores the benefits of digitalisation, the second helps you understand and unlock the value of data, and the third concentrates on the development of a digitalisation action plan.

Tim Andrews, senior adviser, digital transformation, at the MTC: “Digitalising manufacturing is a massive opportunity to transform our industry into one of the most productive and competitive in the world. There is a pressing need for UK industry to improve productivity, raise productivity, increase exports and create more jobs. Many SMEs recognise the value of digitalisation but are yet to take their first steps towards embracing it. More than half of UK manufacturers with an annual turnover under £10 million haven’t started implementing digitalisation despite actively considering it according to research by Make UK.”

Many manufacturing SMEs recognise that digitalisation could transform their business for tomorrow, but can’t move past the challenges of today. This interactive three-part certificate course delivers relevant, practical, sector-specific insights to fuel the first steps towards data-driven operations.”
