Course Details

This 80-hour, self-paced online course is an accelerated path towards becoming a CNC Machinist. This course is only available to successful completers of Mechatronics and Robotics Maintenance. This course gives Mechatronics completers the opportunity to get certification in the entire CNC Machinist skill path with only 80 hours of additional study. 


Accelerator: CNC Machinist gives you the skills needed to begin work in the in-demand field of machining. It focuses on industrial safety; print reading, dimensioning, measurement, and tools; mechanical systems; hydraulic and pneumatic systems; machining processes, milling, and turning; piping; rigging; basic welding techniques; and maintenance and troubleshooting.


This course uses formal learning, videos, and hands-on virtual simulations. It is assessed by a final quiz on each individual module. Learners need to achieve 80% or higher on each final quiz to successfully complete the course and will have three attempts to pass each quiz. Learners can work at their own pace, and a learner who spends 10 hours a week on the course will complete the first course in approximately 8 weeks.
