Blue Card

The holder of the International Blue Card is evidence as to their ability to use their MTM discipline anywhere in the world.


International Employers and Unions can use this as proof of the holder’s ability to use MTM correctly.

The certified training courses to become an MTM-Practitioner conclude with the “Blue Card” (MTM), the internationally recognized certificate of competence on the practical use of the MTM method for planning and improving processes and work systems.

  • Valid for 3 years
  • Recognized by social partners
  • An integral part of numerous employer/works council agreements

Renewing the “Blue Card” (MTM): Regular checks are necessary to guarantee the skills and knowledge of an MTM-Practitioner (at least every 3 years). Deutsche MTM-Vereinigung e. V. (German MTM Association) provides the most respected seal of quality in industrial engineering through the “Blue Card” (MTM) – and the reputation of an MTM-Practitioner associated with it!
