Tool and Die Maker Apprentice Training

From metal processing and grinding to forging and manufacturing, the Tool and Die Maker Apprentice Training curriculum offers a complete introduction for the professional tool and die maker.

Beginning with a systematic review of pre-technical skills in safety, drawings, and measurements, the curriculum takes students, step by step, through the fundamentals of tool grinding, metallurgy, and the manufacturing process.

Like many Penn Foster apprentice programs, this Machinist/Machinist Apprentice has been developed to meet Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training (BAT) standards. Be sure to offer your employees on-the-job training opportunities to supplement the skills learned here. Upon completion of this program, students will be able to:
