What You'll Learn

Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populated·from NSX Competency Framework

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

  • CNC machine operations sequence — identify and list under direct supervision using printed job orders on the shop floor.
  • Basic cutting tools — select and label by type following instructor guidance in a vocational training environment.
  • Job drawings and blueprints — read and interpret simple dimensions under technician oversight at an entry-level CNC workstation.
  • CAM software interface — navigate and locate basic menu functions with step-by-step guidance in a training lab setting.
  • Reference points and part zero locations — locate and record on a workpiece following a standardized setup sheet.
  • CNC program code — identify common G-code and M-code commands from a printed reference card during supervised practice.
  • Machine speeds and feed rates — look up and enter pre-calculated values into a controller under direct technician direction.
  • Trial run observations — watch and document machine movements against expected tool paths during supervised test cuts.
  • Program storage procedures — follow written steps to save and retrieve part programs on shop media under close supervision.
  • Measurement tools and near-vision inspection — use calipers and rules to verify basic part dimensions against a blueprint tolerance.
