CNC Operator Certificate
Division: Technology and Engineering
PROGRAM CODE: 2C40638
The CNC Operator Certificate is designed to prepare students for entry-level employment as CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machine tool operators and to enhance the skills of machinists who are currently employed in the trade. This type of certificate program can also lead to entry level careers as a machinist, toolmaker, 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 14 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 for each course taken.
