The Advanced Manufacturing Certificate provides enhanced skills needed for employment in today’s highly technical manufacturing environments. The Certificate is designed to train those new to manufacturing, but also serves to update or expand the skills of seasoned manufacturing workers with the most current technology and techniques. These classes all apply to the Advanced Manufacturing Associate in Applied Science Degree. Protective shop clothing and eye protection supplies are required for the program, and will be purchased by the student.

Students who satisfactorily complete the program requirements qualify for a certificate of program completion. Not all courses are offered each semester. Students should work with an academic advisor to develop a schedule that will work for them. Students planning to transfer should check the transfer institution’s requirements/guides or discuss their options with an academic advisor.
