Programming Plus, Inc. offers hands-on training with small class sizes. Our instructors are former programmers who bring real-world experience to the classroom.

The first course offered is SURFCAM Basic. This class is designed for students who have never used a CAD or CAM system before. It will be too basic for employees who have been working with other CAD/CAM systems. If you have any questions on which class you should enroll in, please feel free to contact our instructor at support@programmingplus.com.

Most students begin with the beginning classes. This is a two-day course covering the system basics like the interface, common functions, and how to program simple parts. After the beginning classes students move into the avdanced classes which may be one or 2 days claases depending on which product you have. These class lead you into the advanced aspects of the software and directly into complex programming concepts. In the advanced courses, class sizes are limit to insure personal attention to the students.

PPI’s main facility is located in New Berlin, Wisconsin, but on-site training tailored to your needs is available. Contact us for more information on training at your facility.

If you have any questions, or recommendations for future classes, please contact us.
