Certification
This page is in development. Content is incomplete and meant to serve as a placeholder for future release. Would be good to have on the equipment, manual pages (or sidebar).
LVL1 ShopBot Certification Collaboration
Certification
Most tools in the space are open for LVL1 members and guests to use with either prior experience or limited instruction. Others will require more training from qualified individuals. This page will provide information on what training is available and how to arrange for certification.
Certification is intended to keep everyone safe - the machine and you!
Which tools require certification?
Eventually, the equipment page would list "CERTIFICATION REQUIRED" if needed. Suggestions from other spaces on certifications include:
- CNC machines
- Laser cutters
- 3D Printers
Definitely not implying these desktops all need to be locked down like the ShopBot
Certification Process
- Contact
- Schedule
- Complete required sessions
What if I already have experience?
If you are already familiar with safe operation of certified equipment, please reach out to learn@lvl1.org to arrange for a proficiency test.
Do you offer training on non-certified equipment?
Come out to meeting night or open build / email learn@lvl1.org
ShopBot
This will move to the ShopBot tool page(?)
With links in the Manual-Certification section & in the equipment list?
