CORE Classes (Equipment Certifications)

Description: CORE Classes are required certification sessions designed to ensure members can safely and confidently use specialized equipment at Grey Bruce Makers. Each class focuses on a specific machine or tool—such as a laser cutter, 3D printer, or metal lathe—and covers basic operation, safety procedures, and practical use.

Why Take a CORE Class? Upon successful completion, members are certified to use that machine independently during open hours. These foundational classes are essential for unlocking full access to the tools in our makerspace.

Typical Format:

• Duration: 2–3 hours, Possible multiple sessions

• Frequency: Offered monthly

• Format: Hands-on instruction
