Advanced manufacturing technology is used in automated fabrication machinery that require skilled technicians to design, program, service and repair, including a focus on machining.
Our hands-on Advanced Manufacturing programs prepare graduates to go to work as an entry-level service technician, diagnosing, servicing and repairing automated systems. This program offers an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) Degree in Advanced Manufacturing Technology, an Advanced Manufacturing Technician Certificate, a Basic Manufacturing Technician Certificate, a Mechatronics Technician Certificate, and an Advanced Manufacturing Level 1 Machining Certificate. Advanced manufacturing skills are also an excellent supplement to related areas such as electronics and engineering.
Grayson College Admission policies require a high school diploma or equivalent. The Associate of Applied Science (AAS) Degree requires TSI completion. The certificates are TSI exempt.
