CNC Machinist Technician is a one-year certificate that prepares students for work as a computer numerically controlled (CNC) or general machinist. Students learn to set up and operate CNC and manual metal-cutting machines, interpret engineering drawings, apply geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, and use CAD software to support machining work. The curriculum builds safe tool-handling and machine-operation practices across both manual and CNC equipment, alongside the drawing-interpretation skills machinists use on the job. The program is delivered full-time at the Notre Dame Campus in Winnipeg, with a September intake. It suits individuals seeking entry-level machining skills for manufacturing and precision-machining roles, giving them practical, hands-on training rather than a purely theoretical introduction to metalworking.
