The CNC Machine Operator program is divided into two parts or phases. Phase I consists of four in‐class modules. Phase II consists of 144 online course hours.

 High School Diploma/GED

 Prior experience working in manufacturing and producƟon environment preferred Thefollowingprerequisitesand

assessmentsarerequiredfor  Prior experience working in a metal cuƫng manufacturing environment desirable entranceintotheCNCOperator  Work Keys Levels Required (WorkKeysassessmentsareadministeredbySCWorks)

MachiningProgram. _ _{Reading for Informa}_Ɵ_{on (RFI) Level 4 minimum}

 LocaƟng InformaƟon (LI) Level 4 minimum

 Applied MathemaƟcs (AM) Level 4 minimum CNCMath (48hours)

This module is a review of basic arithmeƟc ‐fracƟons, decimals, signed numbers, order of operaƟons, square and

square root, raƟo and proporƟon, machine speeds and feeds, Cartesian coordinate system, algebra, geometry, trigonometry and pracƟcal industrial shop problems

focusing on CNC machine tool operaƟons.

BasicMeasuringTools,SafetyAwareness,Quality Assurance,ProducƟon&Processes

(16hours)

Covers general shop safety and how to protect against hazards. Introduces the basics and implementaƟon of 5S ‐ organizaƟon, orderliness, cleanliness, standardized cleanup,

and self‐discipline. Includes the calibraƟon of gages and other data collecƟon equipment and the use common measurement systems and precision measurement using

calipers and micrometers.

PrintReading—Manufacturing/MechanicalDrawings (32hours)

Trainees will interpret actual industry prints while building the knowledge and skills that will allow them to read complete sets of working drawings. Text contains realisƟc examples, actual prints, illustraƟons, related tests, and print‐

reading problems based on real‐world engineering prints related to machining and manufacturing. Thiswillinclude 10hoursofGeometricDimensioningandTolerancing.

IntrotoCNCLatheandCNCMillOperaƟons (54hours)

This module lays the foundaƟon of machining and includes an introducƟon to machine operaƟons and tooling. Projects

will be machined on CNC lathes and milling machines. Students will learn how to hold or ﬁxture a part to reference

it for repeatability in producƟon. Basic programming G and M codes, machine structure and operaƟon.
