Many resources and access within the Discovery Learning Lab require completion of shop training. We expect all students to take an active role in learning how to operate each tool in a safe and effective manner.

We expect all students to take an active role in learning how to operate each tool in a safe and effective manner. We expect you to know something about tools before you enter the shop.

We provide professional supervision with many years of experience and training to guide you. The staff of Discovery Learning Laboratory gives hands on instruction to all students on basic hazard awareness for each machine tool. We still expect you to come to training knowing something about each tool.

We use the online scheduling system SignUpGenius to schedule training appointments.

The SignUpGenius will show a calendar of training session availabilities to choose from. Sign up early as there are a limited number of slots.

Training workflow:

1. Sign up for Basic Shop Training on SignUpGenius. Slots will become available the second week of the semester.

2. Study Basic Shop training outline and search out additional information.
   
3. Attend your appointment with staff.

There are three levels of certification:

1. Basic Shop — Allows access to machine shop DL167 and minor tool loan
2. Advanced Shop (Prereq: Basic Shop) — Allows access to extended access and tool loan
3. Advanced CNC (Prereq: Advanced Shop) — Allows use of the CNC machine tools

Following your training scheduled via SignUp Genius, you may be interested in additional training. Please email dlc@marquette.edu to arrange additional training. We recommend updating your Outlook calendar so we are aware of your prior commitments and appointments.
