EduCAD works closely with Denford to deliver training on all of their machines across the UK. All training on Denford CNC machines is organised through Denford Ltd in collaboration with them. The price of the training is determined by Denford and therefore varies. Please reach out or book below to start a conversation on the cost of this training.

By the end of this training, you will have a solid understanding of how to control & operate your CNC machine, be confident using the machine for a number of different tasks, understand how to program toolpaths for the machine, and be able to cut complex parts with multi-tool operations. We will also advise you on how to incorporate the machine into your curriculum and how to help your students use is safely.

FAQs

  • We typically complete Denford training on-site at your location. This allows us to complete the training on your machine and ensure it is fully operational. It also makes taking the time off for training easier as you can continue to monitor supply teachers.

    Alternatively, we can complete the training at the Denford Training Centre near Huddersfield (HD6 1QF).

    Online training is not suitable for machine training but can be completed for software training only.

    That is why all full-day training courses come with our 6-month Support Guarantee.

    This service is part of your training package and means that we will provide unlimited support for the six months after your training to answer questions and help ensure that your training can be put to good use.
