Questions and answers
Straight answers before you commit.
Programmes and enrolment
Do I need experience to join a programme?
No. Fundamentals of CNC Machining and CNC Essential Skills are built for complete beginners. For advanced programmes we review your background during admissions and will tell you honestly if a foundation programme should come first.
How do I apply?
Use the apply form on this website. Admissions reviews every application and responds within two working days with cohort dates and the next steps.
Can I visit the workshop before applying?
Yes, and we encourage it. Book a workshop tour and one of our trainers will walk you through the floor and answer questions at the machines.
Fees and payment
How much does a programme cost?
Fees vary by programme and cohort format. Current figures are sent with your admissions response. There is no charge to apply or to attend a tour.
How do I pay?
Payments are made to our company account, with M-PESA and bank transfer options provided on admission. Corporate clients are invoiced on agreed terms.
Is there a payment plan?
For individual learners on longer programmes, structured part-payments can be arranged with admissions before the cohort starts.
Certificates and verification
What certificate do I receive?
A company-issued certificate of competency recording the programme completed and the competencies assessed. 5-Axis Precision is a private engineering company, not an accredited institution, and we say so plainly - employers value the certificate because it reflects verified, machine-based competence.
Can an employer verify my certificate?
Yes. Every certificate carries a unique code. Anyone can enter it on our verification page and confirm that it is genuine and current - no account needed.
What if I lose my certificate?
Sign in to your learner portal. Your certificates, with their verification codes, are always available there.
Machines and practicals
Will I actually run the machines?
Yes. Machine time is the core of every programme. Learners work under supervision on the same equipment that produces customer components.
How does machine booking work?
Practical sessions are scheduled with your trainer, and additional practice time is booked through your learner portal, which shows real machine availability and prevents double-bookings.
What safety gear do I need?
The workshop provides required protective equipment. Come dressed for a workshop environment: closed shoes and no loose clothing or jewellery around machines.
