 * Certification is the process where a user is observed using the CNC Router to verify that they will not damage themselves, others, or the machinery. The process is designed for the student to show that preparation, clean up, and operation are understood. It is possible to be certified without taking the in person MakerFX training.
 * Training is basic instruction for creating a simple file, loading files, preparing the machine for use, and proper operation including cleanup.

-Before use, each person must be certified and approved for use. The process for becoming certified is separate from the training. If one is already familiar with using VCarve to convert designs into tool paths, the training is not required. The training can be taken in person or as on demand online modules. The training is designed to give you enough knowledge to create a simple design to be used during the certification process. If you do not take the class, you will find the information to create the certification file on the [[CNC_Router_Training | training and certification page]]. There is much more to know about using the CNC router and designing files than is covered in the MakerFX training. On the training page you will find links to additional resources.
