Built for Working Machinists

  • ✓
    You have 6+ months of hands-on machining experience and want to level up
  • ✓
    You're stuck at operator pay and want to move into programming or setup
  • ✓
    You're ready to move fast — 10–18 weeks to a certificate, not years
  • ✓
    You work full-time and need Saturday or evening class options
  • ✓
    You want a certificate that employers in Southern California recognize
  • ✓
    You're ready to invest in your career and get it done in 10–18 weeks
✗ This is NOT for you if...
  • ✗
    You have zero machining experience, no understanding of blueprint reading, or shop math — these are advanced courses
  • ✗
    You're looking for a degree program or ACCSC-accredited coursework
  • ✗
    You can't commit to attending every class — attendance is required
  • ✗
    You're not willing to put in the work — this is intensive, hands-on training

Why It Works

The Numbers Speak for Themselves

10–20%
Wage Increase Per Hour
The average wage increase per hour our graduates see when moving from operator to programmer or setup technician roles in Southern California.
144
Hours of Training
Concentrated, industry-focused curriculum blending classroom instruction, computer lab, and hands-on shop time — not filler content.
15
Students Max
Every class is capped at 15 students so you get real attention from instructors who've worked in the trade — not a lecture hall.
10–18
Weeks to Certificate
Complete your advanced training in one semester — while still working full-time. Saturdays or two evenings per week.
7
Courses Available
CNC Machining, Advanced CNC, Mastercam, Advanced Mastercam, Inspection Training, CMM Zeiss, and SolidWorks — all in-demand skills.
0
Entrance Exams
No tests to get in. Just proof of 6 months of machining experience. Your resume does the talking — not a standardized test score.

What Machinists Are Saying

I was running the same machine for 6 years. After MCC's CNC Machining course I moved into programming and got a $9/hr raise within 3 months.
R. Morales
CNC Programmer · Chino, CA
Saturday classes made it possible. I kept my full-time job the whole time. Finished in 18 weeks and had a new offer before I even got my certificate.
D. Torres
Setup Technician · Fontana, CA
Mastercam changed everything for me. I was skeptical about online but the instruction was solid. The shop I work for actually paid for my next course.
