CNC programming and machining is a very complex and diverse skill set. The career path requires a vision for lifelong learning. What was considered "state of the art" just a few years ago is not enough to stay competitive in today's market. This career field is never boring and there is always room for innovation. Top dollar employers require knowledge of materials, software, and very expensive complex machinery. This is not a trade for "good enough" thinking.

Because of this complexity, CNC Software, Inc. offers many different curricula, baseline testing and Certifications for each product. The Certifications are typically classed into modules based on the number of axis used to complete the scope of work. The tests are not specific to an industry or application type such as injection molds or furniture.

Within curricula sets there are two testing and Certification levels. The Mastercam Associate Level Certification is strictly comprehensive testing based on the latest technologies. The Mastercam Professional Level Certification includes the comprehensive testing combined with a practical application component.
