(CMS: Weatherford, TX) -- The Coordinate Metrology Society (CMS), the membership association for measurement professionals, will make available a new CMS Level-Two Certification program for users of laser trackers at its upcoming 2016 conference.

This is the industry’s first hands-on performance examination for portable laser tracking systems used for large-scale, in-place measurement of aircraft, automobiles, ships, power-generation systems, and more. The device-specific assessment will be conducted by CMS-authorized proctors at CMSC 2016, which will be held July 25–29, 2016, in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Applicants for CMS Level-Two Certifications must have a Level-One certification and two years of experience (minimum 400 hours) using a laser tracker, and submit an application with two references who can confirm the applicant’s hands-on expertise.
