|
*Approved as a vocational program under the Ontario Career Colleges Act, 2005
The CNC/MasterCAM diploma training program prepares our graduates for a career within Canada’s growing industrial community. Upon the successful completion of the CNC/MasterCAM training program graduates will understand and be able to apply Computerized Numerical Control technology (CNC) from the introduction of CNC programming to advanced applications. As well, graduates will be able to develop CNC programs for a variety of machines, such as drills, mills, machining centers and lathes, using verifiable manual and computerized methods. The focus of the program is on practical industrial applications and problem solving using a professional approach.
Articulation– Credit Transfer
Graduates of the SCBT CNC/MasterCAM program may articulate to Canadore College of Applied Arts & Technology and receive a credit transfer of 24 credits towards the completion of the Canadore College 42 week Machinist-Mechanical Technician Ontario College Diploma Program. (Articulating students must meet the admission requirements of Canadore College.)

CNC Machinists develop computer applications for machines and process, diagnose problems relating to CNC Machining and design programs for CNC machines. CNC Machinists set up and operate a variety of machine tools to cut metal, plastic or other materials to create or modify parts and products with precise dimensions. Machining and tooling inspectors inspect the parts, products and tooling produced from machines to maintain quality control standards. They are employed by machinery, equipment, motor vehicle, automotive parts, aircraft and other metal products manufacturing companies and by machine shops. (click here to see details)
