Foreign Object Elimination — FOE

View Certificate

Description

NCATT developed the Foreign Object Elimination (FOE) Certification in response to the aerospace industry's need to cultivate a consistent foreign object elimination culture. With the help of subject matter experts from across the industry and utilizing guidance from the NAS 412 standard, the FOE certification demonstrates a basic awareness of foreign object elimination, allowing aerospace workers to take an active role in preventing FOD, a 4-6 billion dollar annual cost to our industry.
