give experienced workers an opportunity to update themselves in their respective areas of expertise. For those with little experience,
certificates and certifications can add value when very specific skills and knowledge are demanded in an industry. Often, instead of
seeking another degree, professionals can add to their credentials with a certificate or certification. These credentials are an indication
of how dedicated a professional is to the field in which they work.

Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) Programmers write CNC programs which carefully control the motion of machines and tools
used to cut and shape precision products, such as machine and automobile parts. Demand for highly qualified workers in this field is
increasing due to senior members exiting the workforce. This translates to higher wages and excellent opportunities for skilled CNC
Programmers. In 2010, the Bureau for Labor Statistics placed the median hourly earnings of a CNC Programmer at $15, with the top
ten percent earning more than $23! The CNC Programming Certification provides the entry-level training needed to review computeraided design (CAD) blueprints for a program, calculate the tool paths required to produce the item from a solid block of material or
casting, select the appropriate tools for the job, and plan out the sequence of operations needed to complete the job, making sure
that the product adheres to precise measurement requirements.
