Semiconductor Technician Certification

Curriculum Description 

Semiconductors are the basic building blocks of today's modern world. This curriculum has been designed to equip learners with the necessary skills to excel in a semiconductor manufacturing environment.  The curriculum consists of twenty-two courses that provide a comprehensive understanding of the semiconductor manufacturing process.  

At the end of the training, the learner will be able to enroll in a certification exam. This exam will consist of 100 questions. The learner will have three attempts to pass the exam. A passing score of 75% is required.  If you do not pass the test after three attempts, you will be required to re-enroll in the curriculum.  This certification is valid for a period of three years and is issued by SEMI in cooperation with our partner Workforge.
