Program Design
The Computer-Aided Manufacturing certificate program is designed for students with a background in conventional machining who are interested in preparing to become Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine operators. Students learn in modern classrooms that provide hands-on experience on state-of-the-art software and machinery.
Curriculum
The CAM Certificate is a full-time program that can be completed in two 8-week sessions. Students without previous experience or background in conventional machining should first complete the non-credit Conventional Precision Manufacturing (CPM) certificate program. Contact Ed Dombroski at edombroski@manchestercc.edu for more information.
