Manufacturing Certificate Programs

Current certificates focus on fundamental machining competencies and Computer Numerical Control (CNC) programming and machining. In partnership with H.H. Ellis Technical High School, courses are taught at both the high school and the QVCC Danielson campus.

Future years will expand offerings into Quality Inspection, Metrology and Mechatronics (Circuits, PLC Automation and Data Acquisition). Lean Manufacturing concepts and techniques will be integrated throughout the curriculum.

Basic Manufacturing: Machine Technology Level 1 (16 credits)
Advanced Manufacturing: Machine Technology Level II (18 credits)


Your first step is to Become a QVCC Students by applying to the college.

Basic Manufacturing: Machine Technology Level 1 (16 credits)
The objective of this certificate is to expose you to machinery used in a current manufacturing environment. Our lab provides hands-on learning with the latest technologies available, along with the necessary tooling for projects used in learning basic machining. Successful completion of this certificate prepares you for the Advanced Manufacturing: Machine Technology Level II credit certificate.

Courses:
CAD* 110 Introduction to CAD, 3 credits 
MFG* 124 Blueprint Reading I, 2 credits 
MFG* 151 Manufacturing Machinery-Drill Press and Saw, 1 credit
