About the Classes

These classes are designed for people working in the machining industry who want or need to upgrade their machining skills, as well as hobbyists, and individuals looking for machining training in order to enter the industry but cannot attend full-time school or do not need a degree. These non-credit classes provide an on-the-job training environment with guidance and follow-up from an experience instructor. The classes will integrate safety training, blueprint reading and shop math.

Each class will give students 55 hours of class/lab time. Students will focus on work in the shop and creating parts to print under the guidance of an experienced instructor.

Students will need safety shoes and safety glasses and will be required to purchase the NIMS Precision Machining Technology textbook (2nd addition) and accompanying workbook. ISBN: 128544454X and ISBN10: 1285444558 respectively.
