CNC Machining Centre Programming II

Enter the fascinating world of industrial automation!

Increasingly, the manufacturing industry relies on industrial automation to machine and turn products that would otherwise be manufactured by hand. Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines are programmed to perform machining and turning processes like drilling, cutting, sawing and stamping through pre-set sequences of commands. These machines are highly sophisticated precision tools that require specialized expertise to be properly set up and operated.

Our experienced instructors and leading-edge equipment will provide you with an excellent opportunity to receive hands-on training as an operator and programmer in a supportive, industry-focused and safe learning environment.

Note: Students need to complete the CNC Machining Centre Operator I Certificate before enrolling in this program.
