On-line CNC Classes

Mike Lynch has been teaching CNC-related courses and seminars for over twenty years. If you work around CNC machines, you or someone you know has probably attended one of his excellent presentations. Now we're bringing Mike's courses to the Internet . Just about everything done in his face-to-face courses will be done in the on-line courses - and you'll be able to attend from the comfort of your own home or office!

A note about fire-walls:

These classes require that you download files to your computer, including PowerPoint and Adobe Acrobat files. This means your computer will have to allow files to be received. Fire-walls can prevent file transfer. If your computer has a fire-wall, as long as you have control of it you will be able to enable the transfer of files (stop the blocking) while you are on the UniversalClass.com web site. But if you will be using a computer that is part of a larger network (like a "cybertopia"), be sure the network allows you to enable file transfer.

Checklist of things to do prior to enrolling in your first class:

• Download Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer software
• Download Adobe Reader   
• Install Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer and Adobe Acrobat Reader software. One way to do so is to double click the downloaded file from within Windows Explorer - and then follow the instructions that appear on the screen. To confirm that you have successfully installed each program, look in the list of programs (when you click Start and then Programs). Recently installed programs will usually appear at the bottom of the program list.
• We also recommend that you register and attend a test course (many are free) at the UniversalClass.com site to ensure that you understand how to use the website software and virtual classroom. The Free UniversalClass Demo course, for example, will help you get comfortable with the UniversalClass environment.
