End User Certification

Improve your marketability by becoming a Mastercam Certified User. By passing the Mastercam Certification Test, you prove your knowledge and expertise to your current or future employer.

Why do you need Mastercam Certification?

Achieving Certified Programmer Mill Level 1 (CPgM1) status means you have passed rigorous tests showing the depth and breadth of your CNC knowledge. CPgM1 certification proves your ability to program and cut quality parts.

"I have been in the trade for thirty-nine years, and have used Mastercam for the last ten years. Using Mastercam has helped me do very complex machining that I used to only be able to just dream of doing. I currently program, set up, and run a 5-axis milling machine to build complex prototype parts for the defense industry. I had my skills formally documented through the Mastercam Certification program to demonstrate to my company and to our customers the level of proficiency that I have achieved."
