Students learn to understand the machining process, operate and set up CNC machines, work with precision—and choose between two specialization tracks: CNC Operator-Setup or CNC Setup-Programming with SolidCAM.
Connecting the drawing, material, tool, machine, and finished part.
Be familiar with the CNC environment and the sequence of steps to follow before starting the machine.
Select tools, a reference plane, and reference points for precise work.
Inspect the first batch and maintain a consistent production process.
Continue as a machinist or add process planning with SolidCAM.
Every precision part begins with a drawing, a design, and a professional who knows how to make the machine do the job right. CNC operators set up the manufacturing process, select tools, set zero points and offsets, run the first part, check dimensions, and ensure that production remains precise.
This is a profession that combines technology, critical thinking, hands-on work, and attention to detail—and is ideal for those who want to learn a real skill and work in a cutting-edge industrial environment.
We start with a common CNC core curriculum and build upon it to provide the level of training appropriate for the goal: operation and setup, SolidCAM programming, or a combined track that integrates both.
Students learn how to operate, set up, and calibrate a CNC machine; set up tools and offsets; run the first part; measure; and maintain a stable manufacturing process.
Hands-on work at the machine — setting up tools, making adjustments, taking measurements, and troubleshooting in real time.
Includes operator-level capabilities and adds model creation, part definition and setup, toolpath planning, simulation, and the generation of information for the production floor.
More planning and computer-based work—from the model and the machining process all the way to the part that comes out of the machine.
Each option includes the required CNC base and specializes in either operation and setup, SolidCAM programming, or a combined track that covers both.
A core CNC curriculum, followed by hands-on training in operation, alignment, and process control.
A core curriculum in CNC, followed by independent specialization in digital process design and programming in SolidCAM.
An integrated track that combines machine operation, process control, and digital production planning.
The curriculum is divided into a common core and specializations, to help students understand what each track has in common and what is unique to each.

Students practice the connection between drafting, setup, execution, measurement, and results as part of a practical, step-by-step learning process.
The orientation session explains the difference between machine-focused work and a track that also incorporates computer-aided design.
Resume preparation, interview coaching, and professional language training—with no obligation to accept a job placement or employment.
At Niotech, every program begins with a personalized assessment process, continues with hands-on learning, and includes professional guidance throughout the program.
A conversation with a career counselor helps connect your starting point, your goals, and the appropriate academic path.
Hands-on learning connects knowledge to the tools, tasks, and work processes of the field being studied.
The college staff guides the learning process and helps students turn their knowledge into a clear career path.
This connection is reflected in a step-by-step learning process, hands-on practice, and familiarity with the entire workflow—from the sketch to the finished part.
Three examples of past experience that combine an organizational need, technological expertise, and a tailored training process.

A machine operator-setter primarily works on preparing the machine, tools, workpieces, setups, running the machine, and taking measurements. A setter-programmer includes these skills and adds computer-aided process planning using CAD/CAM and SolidCAM.
You can start without any prior professional experience in CNC. The admission process includes a screening interview to assess your starting point and goals; a technical background in manufacturing or drafting can be helpful but is not required.
You need to be comfortable with numbers, measurements, and logical thinking. During the course, you’ll work on calculations and applications relevant to the job, rather than abstract academic mathematics.
In the Operator-Setup track, the main focus is on the machine and the production floor. In the SolidCAM track, there is a significant balance between computer-based work and understanding and preparing for work on the machine.
The equipment and precise controls are determined based on the course format. During the consultation, you will receive the specifications for the relevant practice environment prior to registration.
Hands-on practice is integrated throughout the learning stages and connects drafting, setup, execution, measurement, and results. The exact format is explained during the orientation call prior to registration.
The type of certificate, eligibility requirements, and issuing body are listed in the program details prior to registration.
The language of instruction and the academic framework are provided along with the program details to allow for a clear assessment before registration.
