Ladies and Gents,
Facing Redundancy from the Army and looking for a suitable job - CNC looks like the area for me however, I am in the dark with where to start to enter in to your industry.
A bit about me - I have served 12 years as an Aircraft Technican (Mechanical) and have a BTEC in Aerospace Engineering and a NVQ Lvl 3 in Mechanical Engineering.
But, that probably means nothing in this area!
I need help! I want to go in to the Programming i think.
1. Where are the best courses at?
2. Which courses should i start with?
3. Which courses are more widely used - Fanuc, Siemens etc
4. Are all courses certified by a industry regulation or something - don't want to get caught out on a course/certificate that isn't recognised.
To be honest ladies and gents any information will be greatly received.
Kind Regards
Adam

bad luck on the job man :sad:
cant really help you on the cetification route, most on here build their own machines and are self taught with CAD/CAM
im pretty sure some on here make a few quid with cnc but wisley keep their commercial ventures under their hat

the software can be a nightmare to get into but if you push for long enough it starts to become worth the effort
it might be a good idea to enrol at uni and build a small cnc at home in conjuction with what ever tecnical course you take
it might be worth giving jonathan a shout for advice on a good course to take... hes at uni himself and building his own cnc machines
good luck
