CAD + CNC Fundamentals Certification Course

Empower Your Classroom with Simply Technologies’ CNC Training Guide

Teaching CNC should not feel overwhelming. That is why we developed a comprehensive 16-Session CNC Training Guide—created specifically for educators bringing digital manufacturing into their classrooms. This self-paced program walks teachers through the essentials of CAD/CAM design, machine operation, and classroom safety.

Each session offers step-by-step video instruction, practice files, and complete PowerPoint presentations with instructor’s notes. The program concludes with a certification test, with results shared with the teacher, principal, and CTE director—ensuring every educator is properly equipped before leading students.

It is more than a guide. It is your roadmap to success in today’s technology-driven classroom.
