Learn the skills and knowledge of conventional machining operations to utilize drill presses, lathes, milling machines and various grinding machines, including using Computer Numerical Control (CNC) programming, set up and operation. You will also receive introductory CAD/CAM training, as well as inspection and quality control training.

Graduates of the Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Machinist certificate are responsible for manufacturing components for the oil and gas, mining, forestry, construction and transportation industries. A CNC machinist will demonstrate trade specific skills in programming, setup and operation of computer controlled tools. Graduates will also perform competently when working with manual machine tools.

Machinists are able to work efficiently on their own and/or in team environments where problem-solving skills, critical thinking skills and current knowledge of technological trends and quality practices are essential to daily work. A graduate with a CNC Machinist certificate may be given the opportunity to apprentice in the machinist trade.

As others have already stated, they are ghosts. There is never any assistance available and they do not take responsibility for anything past taking your money. Buildings of useless people, material lackluster and diluted to spread it out longer (costing more). this laying amongst a large list of failings i have found during my own personal experience with these people. Highly advise exhausting all other options before conceding to this Joke of a learning institution.

Nait offers little to no support with over the phone nor in person. You get accepted, pay, then follow on-line program. If there are parking pass issues - no help. If there are student accommodation issues - no help. If there are registration issues - no help. They pretty much take your money, then ignore you.
