The program is designed to prepare students for the opportunity to become entry level CNC operators.\n\nThis is a locally approved certificate. Upon satisfactory completion of the listed requirements and application for completion of the certificate to Admissions and Records, the student will receive a certificate of completion. This certificate program is not approved through the California Community College Chancellor’s Office; therefore, completion of the certificate will not be listed on the student’s transcript.\n\n### Program learning outcomes\n\nUpon successful completion of this certificate, the student should be able to:\n\n1. Safely use manual machine tools to produce a part within specified tolerances.\n2. Interpret blueprints and use precision measurements to correctly layout a project.\n3. Program a CNC vertical mill using G-code to drill precision holes.\n4. Set-up CNC milling and turning equipment utilizing proper work-holding techniques, and load a program for production."
