This course is run at the Mills CNC Machinery Solutions Training Academy's facility in Leamington but could possibly be held at a customer's facility. (Course cost will change with this option.)

This course is theoretical in nature but, depending on machine availability, can also take place using a machine.

If training is to occur at a customer's facility, it is important that attendees have a reasonable sized room with a projector and whiteboard facilities - plus access to a machine if possible.
