The knowledge to succeed in CNC machining
Advanced CNC training that gives schools a competitive edge and students career-ready skills
As technologies in manufacturing rapidly evolve, the demand for employees with advanced knowledge increases. Graduates of technology school programs that teach skills meeting the industry’s needs are uniquely prepared to ascend to high-performance positions. Training on our conversational CNC technology platform, the only one like it that emphasizes basic-to-advanced machining skills, is the answer for students and schools seeking to realize their greater potential.
LEAP provides robust training for programming and operating in the two major machine tool disciplines: milling and turning. Courses for each are divided into multiple levels that provide a prerequisite approach to basic-to-advanced learning; each level is a complete curriculum combining classroom and hands-on teaching designed to elevate students’ skills to the standards today’s leading manufacturers demand. In our program, we “train the trainer.” Instructors are required to take courses consisting of three days of training on each level before they are certified; educators can then certify students. Successful completion of training and subsequent testing can provide students with certificates that prepare them to enter the workforce at the highest levels of the industry.
LEAP program
The Siemens Lifelong Educational Advantage Program (LEAP) immerses students in hands-on training in milling and turning using a multi-level, prerequisite approach to basic-to-advanced learning. Guided by our expertise, students gain advanced programming and operating skills, expand their CNC knowledge, and earn industry-recognized, career-advancing certifications.
The world's most preferred platform
The SinuTrain training software used in LEAP milling and turning courses turns a PC screen into an exact representation of the conversational interface featured on our SINUMERIK 828D and 840D controls. Using SinuTrain, students quickly learn how to program, set up, and operate a range of machines driven by SINUMERIK controls, which power more high-end machining applications than any other CNC technology platform in the world. Siemens provides schools with a complete installation of SinuTrain, and ongoing technical support is available upon request. Free instructor training, certification, and support are included as well.
