Program details

Overview

Mechanical Technician - CNC is a two-year Ontario College Diploma delivered full-time at the Cambridge - Reuter Drive campus. The program combines theoretical and practical instruction in foundational machining and CNC skills, including CNC program development. Students learn to load programs and set up machine tools, with an emphasis on setting up CNC equipment for creating, editing, and optimizing production, and on understanding the various disciplines involved in this multi-step machining process. The program covers the Level 1 learning outcomes of Ontario's precision machining apprenticeship programs, so graduates may not be required to complete Level 1 in-school apprenticeship training or an exemption exam if they later choose to pursue an apprenticeship in a machining trade. The program is delivered on campus using industry-standard CNC machining equipment.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), or equivalent, or applicants may qualify as mature students at 19 years of age or older. The programme asks for Grade 12 compulsory English at a C or U level, or equivalent, or Conestoga's Preparatory Communications (COMM1251), plus Grade 12 Mathematics at a C or U level, or equivalent, or Conestoga's Preparatory Mathematics (MATH1420). No specific minimum percentage is published for either subject beyond the college-wide grade-letter equivalencies. Canadian citizens and permanent residents with international transcripts require a course-by-course credential evaluation through an approved provider such as ICAS or WES, and applicants whose prior institutions did not use English as the language of instruction must demonstrate English proficiency.
