    Frequently Asked Questions about Cnc

    Computer numerical control (CNC) is a method of automating manufacturing machinery. Software is pre-programmed and embedded inside tools to control their movements and precision. The standard programming language for CNC is G-code, which is stored and executed by a machine control unit (MCU). Manual machining requires more human labor, with operators directly performing actions like cutting and moving materials.‎

    CNC classes can be a great way for machine operators to take the next step in their career path. CNC programming is also an essential aspect of the following jobs: industrial mechanics, machinists, CNC programmers, and CNC operators.‎

    Coursera’s shareable certificates are an excellent way to demonstrate your knowledge and commitment to continued learning. Our global research indicates that industry micro-credentials are not only rising in popularity but can also directly drive career outcomes.‎

    For many of Coursera’s programs, no previous experience is required. CNC machining training is categorized by the following levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. If you’re brand new to the industry, you might consider starting with a beginner-level CNC course and working your way up to intermediate. If you already have some experience, intermediate-level classes may offer a more engaging and challenging experience. Those with strong knowledge of the field looking to master high-level subject matter are best suited for advanced-level CNC courses. ‎

    Many of our CNC online courses are offered by Autodesk, a global industry leader in software designed for engineers, architects, builders, designers, and manufacturers. You can learn more about Autodesk and find links to their website and social media pages by visiting the Autodesk instructor page.‎

    Choosing the best online CNC courses depends on your employees' needs and skill levels. For example, your team may need more training in programming or machine training, in which case you’d look for courses that focus on these aspects of CNC. Learn more about Coursera for Business here and resources like our Skills Dashboard that can help you understand skill gaps and determine the most suitable course for effectively upskilling your workforce. ‎
