COURSE CONTENT

It should be noted that class content has changed significantly to provide a richer, more in-depth experience for the user. The old Basic, Intermediate, and Advance class subject matters have been extensively reviewed and refined. In the new Machine Fundamentals(or Level 1) classes, the primary emphasis now is on machine fundamentals. The functions and operation of the control, how to setup a job, and an introduction to programming are the primary subjects. In the new Level 2 course,the content mainly deals with optimizing processes and will look more at the applications used on the machine.

As noted in the various class syllabuses, attendance in the Optimization& Application Strategies(or Level 2) course assumes that the user has a good grasp of the use of the machine, obtained through having received Level 1 course instruction and/or extensive actual use of the equipment. Customers should not assume that the Level 2 course would cover the topics presented in the Level 1 course. Please see the individual course description for entry requirements.

TRAINING RESCHEDULING OR CANCELLATION

MC Machinery reserves the right to reschedule, cancel, or delay training if attendance does not meet a minimum level, or for other circumstances beyond its control. Notification of cancellation by MMS will be given not later than 14 days before the scheduled class start. Because of this potential,it is strongly suggested that students not use non-refundable tickets for travel.

Rescheduling by the customer is done at no charge if MMS is notified with a minimum of 14 days’ notice. Rescheduling after that point is subject to a fee equal to 30% of the course tuition if received at any period less than two weeks but more than 72 hours. Cancellation within 72 hours of class start date or failure to notify cancellation or attend class without prior notice will result in a forfeiture of all fees, in the case of paid customers. In the case of customers under the warranty period, non-attendance or cancellation without prior notice may void their right to future free instruction.

CERTIFICATES

Certificates will only be given out upon completion of the entire class. Students who do not complete will be given an attendance record, upon request, to deliver to their companies. This applies to late arrivals of more than two hours on the first day and early departures on the last day of class.

DRUG-FREE WORKPLACE

It is the policy of MMS that the use, sale, transfer, or possession of alcohol or illegal drugs while on the company premises, or in any private vehicle parked on MC Machinery Systems, Inc.’s property,is expressly prohibited. In addition, MMS reserves the right to refuse instruction to students attending any training session or operating any equipment while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

If a condition exists where a student is on doctor-prescribed medication during the period of class attendance, it is required that the instructor be informed immediately.Conditions where the students are pregnant, susceptible to allergic reaction, or prone to dizziness, fainting,or seizure may impact or restrict non-classroom (lab) activities at the discretion of the instructor. Prior notification is requested. If MMS determines that an individual is attending a training session while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, they will be asked to leave that session immediately. The operator may be allowed back into class the following day if their company contacts us before the return.

Note: MMS will have no fixed responsibility to go back over material covered during the student’s absence because of this issue.

CONDUCT

In order to provide the best learning conditions, students are requested to maintain a positive, attentive demeanor while receiving instruction. This applies to their interactions with fellow students and the class instructor while on MMS property. Sleeping in class or other disruptive, lewd, or aggressive behavior will not be tolerated and will result in the student being asked to leave the building immediately. If this is necessary, all paid fees will be forfeited, and their company will be immediately contacted.

COMMUNICATIONS FOR THE STUDENT

Cell phones and pagers should be turned off during class. If an emergency occurs and it is necessary to contact the student, please call our office at 630-616-5900, and we will immediately pull that student from class to return the call. In cases where a student must return home for a legitimate reason, they will be allowed to attend another class. Fees accrued will be applied toward that alternative class as long as less than 50% of instruction has occurred. Outgoing calls using MMS phones should use credit cards or be made collect.

ATTIRE

At MMS, business casual attire is requested at all training sessions. No public nudity, shorts, sleeveless shirts, tank tops, torn or ripped clothing, swimwear, pajamas, shirts with offensive slogans or logos, open-toed shoes,or sandals will be permitted in any training environment. Students arriving at class dressed inappropriately will be asked to leave that session and not return until they have changed.

SMOKING ON PREMISES

Smoking is prohibited inside any MMS facility at all times. Designated outside smoking areas will be defined during the initial class orientation for use before or after class and during set break times.

PRICING AND TERMS OF PAYMENT

Payment for Training: Where payment is required to attend our instruction, all fees need to be resolved and are due prior to the first day of class commencement or on-site visit. If MMS has not received payment or a valid purchase order prior to that point, we reserve the right to refuse or deny entry into class and the student will be asked to leave. Under special circumstances, last-minute payment by credit card and/or certified check will be considered.The prices specified for any classroom or on-site training session are valid for 60 days. There after, such prices are subject to change, without notice, to prices in effect at the time of purchase order acceptance. All costs are quoted in U.S.dollars.

PRICING OF TRAINING ACTIVITIES

Classroom training costs vary upon the situation. Level 1 and 2 classroom training at one of our facilities is free for up to a maximum of three students per visit, at any time during the warranty of your EDM. For customers out of warranty or who purchase used late-model machines where we still offer formal classroom instruction, please contact the training scheduler at 630-616-5900 for rates and availability. Specialized two-day classes are offered on a random basis. These classes may require a fee to attend. Again, contact the training scheduler for rates and availability.

Note: The customer will assume any travel or hotel expenses. In most cases,we have agreements with specific local hotels to provide transportation to and from the airport and between our facility and the hotel. A lunch is provided daily at no cost.

ON-SITE TRAINING

Paid on-site training will not occur unless charge issues are resolved prior to the first visit date. In order to minimize costs to customers, it is a standard practice to book lower-priced, non-refundable airfare tickets. Once the ticket has been issued, if a trip cancellation occurs by customer request, they will be liable for the costs of said ticket.Some costs are estimated (such as travel hours) and will vary in hourly charges based upon the age of the machine. Please contact the Service Customer Support Manager at 630-616-5900. Quote estimates can be provided upon request.
