Program Details
CNC Machine Operator, COA
New Program
Manufacturing and Industrial Technology (095600)
08/03/22
The Advanced Manufacturing program offers the opportunity for students to excel by providing the latest information and technology in both lecture and laboratory settings. The Advanced Manufacturing program has included the most modern software and hardware to provide a good environment for learning. The inclusion of multi-axis machining, new computer-controlled laser technology, and continuing use of general manufacturing process technology gives the students access to industrial tools and technologies found in the industry. Courses are aligned with industry skills and national standards to prepare students interested in working toward the completion of an associate degree, certificate of achievement in CNC Machine Operator and/or CNC Machinist, transfer classes for university credit, and general interest; and to provide incumbent workers with skills improvement for advancement in the local industry.
The Advanced Manufacturing program has two stackable certificates and a degree to provide students with multiple career pathway opportunities. Students can earn the CNC Machine Operator COA in one semester. Students can complete the next stackable certificate, the CNC Machinist COA, in one semester following completion of the CNC Machine Operator COA.
The CNC Machine Operator, Certificate of Achievement is a transition from the local Proficiency Award of the same name.
The table below provides the annual numbers of sections and final enrollments for AYs 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 for courses that comprise the proposed CNC Machine Operator, COA.

Paired sections, which are co-listed in a semester, are counted one time in that semester.
The Manufacturing Technology program does not have state-approved certificates of achievement. The associate of science degree in Advanced Manufacturing was approved for fall 2020. As such, students could not have selected Manufacturing Technology as a major before fall 2020 and so no completion data can be provided. Course success rates in manufacturing courses have consistently been above the average college success rate, with rates above 80% for the past four academic years.

The CNC Machine Operator, Certificate of Achievement is a transition from the local Proficiency Award of the same name. Data from the local Proficiency Award are as follows:
Item 5. Enrollment and Completer Projections
The following tables provide data on enrollment at census, Full Time Equivalent Students (FTES), Full Time Equivalent Faculty (FTEF), and productivity for the academic years, 2016-2017 and 2017-2018. The program is in the process of developing a rotational schedule to increase program completion within one and two academic years. Please note that cross-listed sections are counted as a single class and listed under one CRN.

Course Report
This is a conversion from a Proficiency Award to a CCCCO-approved Certificate of Achievement.
The Certificate of Achievement in CNC Machine Operator is designed to prepare students for employment as entry-level CNC ((Computer Numerical Control)Machine Operators; prepare transfer students with relevant hands-on skills, and help local industry advance by offering continuing education for incumbent employees. The certificate outline was created in conjunction with our local industry partners. This certificate addresses current skills and competencies needed in our region as well as nationally. The manufacturing sector is the largest export sector in Ventura County, producing over $14.6 billion in export goods in 2017. It is critical to the manufacturing community of Ventura County—and throughout the State of California—to have ready and available access to a skilled workforce who are prepared for the rapidly changing production technologies of the 21st century.
