Mastery: emerging (Level 1)(based on Short-Term Certificate)

  • Basic measuring instruments such as calipers and micrometers — identify and use under direct supervision to verify that removed workpieces meet dimensional specifications on the shop floor.
  • Workpiece alignment on milling machines — check using rules and gauges following step-by-step guidance from a lead operator.
  • Machine controls for cutting specifications — locate and adjust under close supervision to position cutting tools and workpieces as directed.
  • Milling and planing machine operation — observe and report deviations from expected behavior to a supervising technician during production runs.
  • Cutting tools and standard accessories — select and install using hand tools according to written specifications under direct instructor or supervisor oversight.
  • Workpieces on machine fixtures — position and secure using basic holding devices and hand tools with assistance from an experienced operator.
  • Worn or dull cutting tools — recognize and flag for replacement or sharpening, using a bench grinder under supervised conditions on the production floor.
  • Blueprints and work orders — read and interpret basic workpiece specifications with guidance to identify required tools, materials, and operation sequences.
  • Safety protocols for milling and planing operations — follow consistently, including proper use of personal protective equipment in a metal or plastics production environment.
  • Industrial control software interfaces — navigate basic screens and input parameters under close supervision to support machine setup tasks.
