For educators

In our program, we “train the trainer.” Instructors are required to take courses consisting of three days of training on each level before they are certified; educators can then certify students.

For students

The LEAP framework provides robust training for programming and operating in milling and turning. Courses are divided into basic-to-advanced levels, elevating students’ skills to the standards of today’s leading manufacturers.

The SINUMERIK CNC technology platform from Siemens has long dominated the world’s high-end CNC manufacturing tiers. Today, SINUMERIK CNCs are increasingly preferred by employers wanting a competitive advantage — the combination of game-changing machine tool performance with the ability to train employees from basic-to-advanced machining on the same CNC platform.

  • One control platform for basic-to-advanced CNC instruction
  • The platform most used by high-tech manufacturing
  • Backed by the world’s leading motion control company
  • Nationwide service, support and training

Prepare students for careers, not just jobs

American manufacturing needs tech school graduates that are better prepared to ascend to high-performance positions: Graduates equipped with a more readily transferrable knowledge base. Graduates that can progress more successfully into advanced CNC positions. Graduates that have been trained on the one CNC technology platform that singularly supports basic-to-advanced machining.

  • STEM jobs are growing at 1.7 times the rate of non-STEM jobs*
  • Employers need career-ready graduates, not just candidates for basic parts cutting
  • Siemens CNC instruction best supports this basic-to-advanced career path
  • Siemens offers the instructional content and support your program needs
