Vendor certification · earned in CNC Machining
Haas Certification is a portable industry credential issued by Haas Automation — machine-tool builder; certifications through Haas Technical Education Centers. It is recognised by employers wherever the trade is practised, independent of the school that trained you.
It proves that the holder has been examined against a published standard — knowledge on a written exam and, in most cases, an observed practical performance — and has met the standard of Haas Automation.
At VoTechWorks the credential is earned inside the programs that carry it (CNC Machining): the universal core, one competency course per curriculum area with a written exam, an observed skills demonstration and a signed log each, a capstone, an externship, then exam preparation and the credential exam itself, sat at the school's authorized testing center or the body's own site.
It leads to entry-level employment in Manufacturing & Marine, counts toward the next credential on the stackable pathway, and is the first line on the résumé an employer reads.
Vendor certifications track product versions; recertify when the version retires (typically 2–3 years).
