The Mechanical Technician - CNC diploma program combines theoretical and practical instruction to help you develop foundational machining and CNC skills, including CNC program development.
You will learn to load programs and set machine tools, with an emphasis on setting up CNC equipment for creating, editing, and optimizing production. Understanding the various disciplines through this multi-step process will be key to your journey towards CNC mastery.
This program covers all the learning outcomes for Level 1 of Ontario's precision machining apprenticeship programs. A graduate of this program may not be required to complete the in-school apprenticeship training or take an exemption exam for Level 1 if they choose to pursue an apprenticeship in a machining trade.
