MANUFACTURING/ INDUSTRIAL WORKFORCE TRAINING<br />
CNC Skills Training for<br />
Machine Tooling - Online<br />
MasterTask Online Training for CNC<br />
Machines www.Mastertask.com<br />
<strong>Rock</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> College in partnership with MasterTask is offering<br />
on-line training for manufacturing environments. The MasterTask<br />
100% solution provides a systematic approach that is easy to use to<br />
achieve “lean” goals. Reports show it will develop new people in less<br />
time to higher levels of performance <strong>and</strong> cut costs by improving existing<br />
personnel creating faster setups, higher quality, longer tool life,<br />
fewer crashes, less machinery repair, <strong>and</strong> better employee attitudes.<br />
Simulation-based CNC courses: By selecting from popular models<br />
of Fanuc, Haas, Mazak or Okuma CNC controls, you’ll learn both the<br />
basics <strong>and</strong> the specifics of your machinery. You practice on realistic<br />
computer simulations of your CNC Turning Centers, CNC Lathes, <strong>and</strong><br />
CNC Machining Centers without tying up production machinery or<br />
other operators, <strong>and</strong> if you make a mistake, you won’t have scrap,<br />
damaged tools or downtime.<br />
Courses are offered in an open-entry format – students have one<br />
year to complete all modules in each of the three courses. The course<br />
manual will be mailed to you once your registration is received. For<br />
more information on course content or to set up an optional h<strong>and</strong>s-on,<br />
open lab practice time, call Stan McCord, (815) 921-3064.<br />
Once you register, you will be contacted with your password <strong>and</strong><br />
instructions. For complete course outline, course simulations, etc, visit<br />
