Students will also receive introductory CAD/CAM training, as well as inspection and quality control training. Successful completion of this 1-year certificate can allow graduates to challenge the first year apprenticeship exam for the Machinist program.

The final component is an 8-week work placement, which gives each student an opportunity to apply their skills and knowledge in an industrial setting by working in a machine shop.
