Machine shop certification

I’m looking for getting trained and certified to use machine shop tools and CNC machine. I got see any classes scheduled in calendar.

Can someone suggest me a path forward?

Step One is online classes for the lathe and mill at:
http://learn.dallasmakerspace.org

Step two is machine side classes that will appear on the calendar once a month before the machine shop committee meeting (which was yesterday.) Lathe one month, mill the other. There is a rumor of a second instructor coming on line for these, so both would be available in one month. If you already know how to use a lathe and knee mill, you can request a checkout and the machine-side class.

Other machines have other classes. The surface grinder classes are infrequent. The cold saws are checkout on request. Most of the other machines (Sherlines, Shapeoko) are offered at varying rates, often when enough interest is shown.

Anthing else, post here with more specific interest.
