Discover Superior Training

Today's manufacturers face a unique challenge. No matter what your company makes, you need people, and you need knowledge. You tackle this by training, but routine training can't overcome increased competition, a retiring workforce, and difficulty finding the right people.

• How do you stay competitive?
• How do you train with results?

Interactive Training

• Clearly written lessons.
• Real-world photos and video.

CNC Simulators

Tooling U CNC simulators allow employees to practice the CNC controls that they study via online classes. Employees push virtual controls and run the CNC as if it was in the shop. This provides a real-world CNC situation that operators must execute on a daily basis. Employees must complete the correct sequence of steps for the situation. If the student gets lost or stuck, the “Show Me” button indicates the correct step in the sequence.

Interactive Labs

Many Tooling U classes contain Flash-based interactive labs. These interactive labs put the employee in manufacturing scenarios where they must use what they learned in the classes and apply it in real-life situations. By incorporating real-world scenarios, Tooling U uses these interactive training tools to:

• Contextualize knowledge.
• Dramatically enhance interactivity.
• Interactive quizzes.
• Prepare the employee for questions and quizzes.
