One certification program, three tracks. You work through it online at your own pace, you do the hands-on part with an instructor beside you, and you finish with a certification employers actually ask for.
Pick the work you actually want to do. Every track is built the same way — online lessons you control, projects that prove you can do the job, and in-person time on real equipment before you certify.
Run a skid steer and a mini excavator, read a site plan, and keep a crew safe. Built around a working Arkansas jobsite from day one.
How modern plants actually run. OSHA safety, forklift certification, lean manufacturing and precision measurement — plus visits to four to six working Arkansas plants.
Screens, sound and now the phones. ProPresenter, soundboards and signage — plus deep training in AI phone receptionists that answer calls and book appointments.
The two equipment tracks run in person in Rogers, ten days each, with a working lunch provided every day. Production Technology is fully online and starts whenever you do.
Both equipment tracks include off-site days. You'll train on real machines at working locations away from the classroom. Once you're at the church each morning, transportation to and from those sites is provided.
A lot of programs advertise hours they can't document. Ours are broken out lesson by lesson — video runtime, reading, project time, and evaluation — and the total is audited against the breakdown below. That's what makes the certificate hold up when a funder or an employer asks.
Most of your time is spent doing the work, not watching someone else do it. Forty of the eighty hours are projects you build and submit: inspection reports, site plans, load calculations, a full production run sheet. Your instructor grades them against a rubric you can see before you start.
Five minutes, online. Name, contact, which track you want. We confirm your grant eligibility and get back to you — usually within two business days.
You get a confirmed seat, your start date, and your pre-work. For the online track, Module 1 unlocks the day you're approved.
Equipment tracks: full days, 8 to 5, in the classroom and on the machines. Production Tech: your own pace, online. Every module ends with a graded project.
You finish on real equipment with an evaluator, pass the final, and walk out with the certification and a resume that lists what you actually built.
You don't want four years and a loan. Eighty hours from now you can be certified on equipment that starts above minimum wage on day one.
Recovery, reentry, a layoff, a plant that closed. The program doesn't care where you've been. It cares whether you show up and do the work.
You're on the crew but not on the machine. Certify on your own time, at night, without giving up a single shift or a single hour of pay.
Recovery centers, reentry programs, workforce boards and employers: we run this on-site at no cost to you or the people in your care. We bring the instructors, the equipment and lunch. You bring a room.
Registration takes about five minutes and costs nothing. Worst case, you find out you're eligible.
