The Certified Manufacturing Technology Sales Engineer (CMTSE) program provides national validation and recognition of exceptional business acumen and technical knowledge among sales professionals, as well as the OEMs and distributors who seek to distinguish products and services in a crowded, globally competitive market. CMTSEs meet or exceed the national, industry-recognized standard for consultative selling in the manufacturing technology arena and as such, they are respected as trusted business advisors.

Registration to become a CMTSE candidate secures a seat at an upcoming exam and provides access to the CMTSE Study Guide - the official exam prep course covering the best-in-class proficiencies of technical sales professionals across thirteen chapters in a structured, e-learning course format.

The CMTSE certification exam is a three-hour, online test that consists of 150 multiple-choice questions based mainly on the CMTSE Study Guide presented via e-learning at Tooling U-SME and in addition to a candidate’s previous sales, product and technology training. Candidates should allow two months to complete the CMTSE e-learning course content.
