Online NC and CNC Technology Training Course

The Online NC and CNC Technology Training Course prepares technical professionals and skilled workers to master computer numerical control systems used across modern manufacturing industries. Designed for individuals with foundational training or practical experience in metalworking, woodworking, or plastics processing, this curriculum equips learners with the specialized competencies needed to operate, configure, and program advanced CNC turning and milling machinery.

The curriculum covers foundational principles of numerical control, coordinate systems, and standardized programming workflows. Participants advance through structured study modules addressing program creation, editing, and execution, with a comprehensive focus on both turning and milling processes. Practical assignments guide students in integrating CNC technology into real-world production environments and applying cost-efficient programming techniques, culminating in a hands-on capstone project.

Learning is structured across a flexible eight-month schedule requiring approximately ten study hours per week, supported by a complimentary six-month extension option. Participants receive both digital and printed study materials, full access to the online learning center, and professional SYMplus simulation software from Keller GmbH to test machine code directly on a personal computer. Continuous guidance from personal tutors and round-the-clock AI-supported assistance through KILEA ensure steady academic progress toward earning the state-approved ILS Certificate.

Applicants must possess completed vocational training or relevant professional experience in manufacturing technology, such as metal, wood, or plastics processing, along with basic mathematical proficiency. A multimedia PC running Windows and reliable internet access are required to run the simulation software. Enrollment is open year-round directly through the ILS platform and includes a four-week free trial period.
