Here are a few of the comments that have been made about our on-line
classes. (Thank you to students making these comments and for allowing us to
publish them).
This course (Machining Center Setup and Operation) is very well laid out
- the assignments really gave me a hands-on type of learning. The teacher's
method of sharing knowledge - and making sure it is understood - is
outstanding. Chad Slomin
This course (Turning Center Programming) enabled me to make sense of the
CNC program language. Now when I view a G code program at work, I can work with
it. Michael Fairchild
It provides an excellent foundation for the beginning programmer and
lets the student progress at their own pace. The instructor was prompt with all
the correspondence and truly professional Edward J. Gogal Jr.
It has been a smooth course flow and a challenge in the areas I was
lacking in. Good content that is chronologically well placed to help in the
learning of the subjects. I believe similar courses will be an aid to many
people. Robert Meyers
I thought that for the price, this course was excellent and the
instructor was very knowledgeable. Emails and communications were very good.
Randall Tyler
Very relevant, well delivered. Keep it up. Dennis Parrot
I have found this course (Machining Center Setup and Operation) to be
useful and informative. I feel that the instructor is very competent and
knowledgeable regarding the material presented. I have recommended this course
to others, and I intend to take other courses offered by this instructor. Being
new to the machining trade, I found the course material to be understandable.
The fact that I am getting hand-on experience at my employer while taking this
course allowed me to better understand the concepts presented. Robert
Meyers
Very relevant, well delivered. Keep it up. Joseph Achebe
Once you have developed the basic skills and understanding of CNC
programming and the limitations of the machines, you are then limited only by
your imagination. The strength of this course (Advanced CNC Techniques with
Basic Features) is its ability to kick start your imagination and show you what
you never knew existed. Mike Clifton
I'm glad I took the course (Machining Center Programming. The instructor
provides good email support. I'm glad I have the option of using the telephone
to contact him if I need to. I plan to take another cnc course soon. John
Derr
One strength of this course (Turning Center Programming) is that the
lessons are divided into 10 key concepts which make it very easy to understand
the basics. I enjoyed taking this course. Thanks a lot. Jose Mcllroy
This course has helped me to understand many areas of turning center
setup and operation that I was unsure of. I now have been provided with the
knowledge to be more confident and efficient when working on and with turning
centers. Edward Reghi
I would highly recommend this (parametric programming) course to anyone
looking to learn parametric programming. I am now considering taking the
turning center course based on how well this class was presented. This class
was very thorough and informative. I was surprised at how much I could learn
online. Jonathan Espersen
The format in which the course is presented and lessons are prepared
make learning easy. Technical content is explained in a way that is easy to
follow. Any needed help from the instructor was quickly addressed . I thank you
for presenting this course. It has helped me to gain a better working knowledge
of machining centers. I now can apply what I've learned to my everyday work and
career goals. Edward Reghi
Mike is great. I appreciated the quick response to assignments and/or
questions. Ted Nicholes
This course is very beneficial for anyone seeking to learn or improve
their CNC Programming skills. I will readily recommend this course. Richard
Ebert
This course is extremely well presented and easy to
follow. It answered many of the questions I had and I've obtained the knowledge
and help I was seeking to further my career in the machining industry. When I
required more information or help it was provided quickly and explained
thoroughly. Edward
Reghi
The course (machining center programming) was very easy to understand.
It was the best I have seen. Simple yet very educational. Congratulations on an
outstanding course. The basic's were easy to understand, yet this course
provides the student with a good understanding of the basics of programming. I
enjoyed this course and plan to take advantage of your additional courses. The
cost was very reasonable. John Evanina
Material covered is consistent to stated objective. This course
introduces good basic concepts for a beginning programmer. Levi Methvin
I would like to once again thank Mike for a course that
was well planned & executed. I was very impressed that Mike actually paid close
attention to details on my assignments. Also of great help were the PowerPoint
presentations. Not only did I learn a lot from this course, but I also actually
enjoyed taking it. Paul Liby
I am now in Lesson 8 and I'm happy with my progress. I am now getting
closer to completion of this course, and I want to let people know what I think
of this course. After over 7 years in CNC and 20 years in machine shops and
mechanically oriented trades, I believe I've developed the ability to judge
whether I am getting good information taught to me in a tactful and effective
manner. This, in my opinion, is definitely an excellent course; and has already
strengthened my comprehension on the job. Darrin Director
Mike Lynch provides a great course taking you through the process of
writing programs from beginning to the end with small, easy-to-follow steps.
This was my first on-line course and I really liked the ability to be able to
fit the studying around my schedule. Mike Lynch responded quickly to any
questions I had and he was only an E-mail away. I will definitely be taking his
CNC machining center course as this has been a good primer! Matthew Flath
I enjoyed the first lesson, It was fun. I leaned a lot of new things
also. Your format is great, and I love the print outs for future reference. I
have a two year old and can't be on line very much, so I read the lesson before
the slide show. Thank you for your great grading, we'll see how much I learn in
lesson two. Rod Weflen
I really enjoy the class. The course handouts are clear and
understandable and the PowerPoint presentations are amazing. Cuong Ngo
So far, I've been downloading/studying the course material in between
working on numerous other projects. I fully intend to successfully complete the
course. I expect the course to give me a different perspective on CNC
equipment. George M. Amrhein
I find your pointing out possible programming errors in my programming
assignments and their likely results very helpful. Reminds me of the old adage
"Wise men learn by others mistakes, fools scarcely by their own".
Love the course. Norm Glasser
I work at Visteon/Ford Motor Company. Although we work on/trouble shoot
CNC equipment, we don't do programming. We thought that this class would, at
the very least, make us better trouble shooters. Already I have begun to think
differently. Learning to think in terms of the product I guess you could
say. Dennis Evans
Really enjoying the course. I work with two others taking the course and
we're have fun discussing the lessons (not to mention the fierce competition
for 100% scores). Matthew Flath
I'm doing fine in the class. I have absolutely no lathe experience but
the information is presented in a format that doesn't bury us
"rookies." Dan Niles
