See what our current students in the InCERT Program are saying:
Senior, Sam Balch says, "I was in industrial maintenance. I enjoyed taking that class. You can learn a lot, you can also get a lot of resources and opportunities from taking it. I recommend taking the class or taking a class that is up there to help you with your future."
Sophomore, Case Barnett says, "During the first semester I took CNC machining. I got certified in basic milling operations. This semester I'm taking a welding class. So far I have passed my 6011 fill it, lap joint, and downhill. The In-Cert program is a great alternative for someone looking to learn hands on skills. If you're willing to learn new things hands on, I would recommend the In-Cert program.
Sophomore, Wesley Sheppard says, "I am doing the CNC program. I am already certified in the basic milling part of the program and now I am working on the lathe part of the program and I look forward to going there every week and working and learning how to run a machine and make a part out of square metal blocks. This program also allows me to connect to other people that are pursuing this field of work and I have met some great people doing this program and I highly recommend this program to people wanting to do this type of work because they can get a head start on their career and the people that run this program help you by finding jobs and they help you make a resume for the future when you want to get a job. All around this program is amazing and I think that if anyone is wanting to do this line of work this program will definitely help kickstart your learning and you will get great experience from this program and help you get on your career path."
