Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Certificate

PROGRAM CODE: 2C08416

The Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Certificate is designed to prepare students for programming multi-axis CNC machines. This certificate program is designed for students wishing to further pursue a career in machining or manufacturing. This type of certificate program typically leads to entry to intermediate level careers as a machinist, toolmaker, CNC operator, CNC programmer, manufacturing engineer, process engineer, field service technician as well as a number of other manufacturing/service positions. This certificate requires a total of 48-50 units. At least one half of the units toward the certificate must be completed at Fullerton college. A grade of C or better is required in each course taken.
