Professional Development

To become certified in the NC3 and Tormach certification, instructors must attend a Train-the-Trainer. The NC3 Train-the-Trainer events are hands-on professional development opportunities for instructors to become certified. Hosted at NC3-certified Leadership (Member) Schools and led by expert Master Instructors, these events offer a classroom experience for instructors to learn and become experts in the newest certifications, allowing them to bring their transformed knowledge back to their classrooms.

Curriculum

The NC3 certification curriculum is a complete turn-key system of classroom presentation materials, labs, and exams. NC3 certification supplements a school’s existing curriculum with theory and hands-on practice. Students graduate with the most up-to-date knowledge and competencies valued and required by employers.

Certification

The NC3 and Tormach certification gives students exceptional hands-on experience, provides access to the most current, relevant curriculum available, and addresses skilled workforce needs regionally and nationally.  All NC3 certifications are criterion-referenced assessments with hands-on lab activities as well as competency evaluations; which are used to measure a student's ability to demonstrate learned competencies. A final comprehensive knowledge-based test must be completed to achieve the industry certification through the NC3 certification portal.
