Machinist Training Level II Certificate

Mechanical Engineering Technology

Certificate (S)

Machinist and skilled manufacturing professionals are in demand. The level II certificate will give you the hands-on skills that companies are looking for. You will learn through classroom and practical instruction in a modern machine shop facility. You will become proficient in geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, modern manufacturing techniques, numerical control machining, computer applications, and advanced manufacturing techniques. In addition, you will learn the finer points of manufacturing and machining.

Upon completion of this certificate program, you will be an accomplished and knowledgeable machinist prepared with the job skills you need for a rewarding position in a manufacturing environment. This certificate can be earned by successfully completing courses through full- or part-time study, in the day or the evening.
