To be accepted into the Advanced Machine Tool Technology Certificate program, you must earn a Basic Machine Tool Technology certificate, a Welding Fabrication certificate (including Technical Math II) or a CAD Tech AAS degree. In this program, you use computer-aided design (CAD) software and learn to set up, program, and operate CNC equipment including lathes, milling machines, wire EDM, and inspection equipment. Students also gain skills in computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) and quality control to prepare for a career in computerized industrial machining operations.

The Basic Machine Tool Technology Certificate trains students in the operation of manual lathes, milling machines, and surface grinders. Students become proficient in applied mathematics and reading blueprints and are introduced to the theory of machine shop practices and operation of computer numerical control (CNC) equipment.

This associate degree program familiarizes the student with machine tools and manufacturing processes, develops skills in the operation of computer-aided drafting software, and provides hands-on experience setting up, programming, and operating Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines and advanced inspection equipment.

ACC Automotive Service & Repair students get hands-on training in a setting that resembles an actual automotive service facility. You learn how to analyze engines and diagnose systems using equipment that meets current industry standards.

This program will prepare the student academically for the police academy experience. Successful completion of a police academy (local, state, or privately-run) is required by MCOLES (Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards) for employment in these career fields in Michigan. Other states have similar certification requirements.

The Medical Assistant program provides a balanced blend of administrative and clinical courses to prepare students for entry level medical assisting in doctors' offices and clinics.

Students in this two-year Associate in Applied Science Degree program are required to take 62 to 65 credit hours of course work covering areas such as anatomy and physiology, psychology, medical terminology, office coding, insurance billing, office procedures, computer applications, medication application, clinical practice and other general electives.

The BIS — Medical Information Specialist is an AAS degree program that blends administrative skills and medical knowledge for work in both large and small hospitals, clinics, and medical offices. In addition to general business and computer application courses, you are trained in medical terminology, medical transcription, records management, medical coding and billing, and office management procedures.

Alpena Community College offers two nursing program options: a one-year certificate program (Level I), and an Associate in Applied Science (AAS) Degree (Level II). Both programs have full approval by the State of Michigan Board of Nursing. Upon successful completion of Level I and with the approval of the Board of Nursing, graduates are eligible to take the NCLEX-PN for LPN licensure.

The AAS degree in Network Administration will also prepare you for work in a LAN environment, but as a network administrator. You’ll take courses dealing with project management, information security and Microsoft network management, as well as required AAS degree coursework. This program builds on the technical knowledge and communication skills emphasized in the certificate program.

The certificate in Network Administration focuses on the technical and communication skills you would need to provide “helpdesk” diagnosis support or manage a small office local area network (LAN). Through case scenarios, simulations and process mapping, you’ll gain a basic understanding of the maintenance and administration of a LAN system and the communications skills needed to help others resolve computer-related problems.
