UK Shared Prosperity Fund: Introduction to CNC Machining

This 6-week CNC Machining Course is to support learners who have an interest in this subject and is designed to equip learners with the technical skills and knowledge necessary for careers in advanced manufacturing and precision engineering.Our CNC milling course is will guide students through the whole process of creating an offline NC program to producing a finished machined part regardless of prior knowledge.We will be using Autodesk FeatureCAM to create the offline programs by learning how to produce parts in the software workspace from hard copy drawings, creating stock, geometry, curves, features and cutter paths.We will move to the machine and discuss the machine constraints and learn about tool setting, datums settings, offsets and file transfer.This is an industrial software with a clear and easy to follow user friendly structure, once familiar with the software, students are usually surprised how quickly they can produce programs and parts.Learners may have completed a previous Engineering qualification and wish to progress onto a higher-level qualifications, or to gain/develop knowledge and skills required to work in industries where there are requirements to utilise industrial software and new technologies of the future.�

During this 10-week course, our team will help you to navigate the basics of CNC Machining to enhance your CV for career progression.�This course offers an introduction to CNC machining, covering fundamental principles and safety aspects.�This course is suited to learners who are looking to begin their CNC machining�knowledge or�advance their skills further.�This course is fully-funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. The first cohort will run in October/November 2025. Please enquire for future start dates.

For entry onto this qualification learners must have a keen interest in advanced manufacturing. A background or previous study in an engineering specific qualification may be an advantage.

This course will support upskilling within your current role, which can then be used to progress into more senior/complex job roles or to support a career change.This course will support learners gaining employment in the industry of Advanced Manufacturing or to progress onto further study/higher education.�
