What do our clients say about us?

I have 25 years of experience working with manual milling machines. And I came to the conclusion that CNC is the future. Since I had limited time and couldn’t keep up with in-person classes, I decided to try online learning. That’s when I found the online courses with a live instructor at https://trasa3.com/.

The lessons are scheduled at a convenient time for you. The instructor presents the material in an accessible way and tries to answer any questions you don’t understand — both during and after the class. There are also many video recordings available for self-study, as well as individual lessons on topics of your choice.

I’m very glad I chose these courses and have never regretted it. I currently work in the Czech Republic, and the knowledge I gained from the courses has been extremely useful. Now I truly understand the phrase — Knowledge is power!

It all started in 2017. When I first saw a CNC milling machine at work, I was immediately fascinated. I decided to start learning!

I searched for schools and training programs for a long time, and by chance, I found the LAUFERCNC courses — just when I got a job as a CNC student. At that time, I worked on four different machines, including CNC waterjet cutters, milling machines, lathes, lasers, and waterjets. The course at LAUFERCNC provided an excellent foundation and the opportunity to learn in three formats: self-paced, with a live instructor, and individually!

It offers in-depth knowledge in the areas of CNC operation and programming, which is very important and relevant. The course delivers professional-level knowledge that can have a huge impact on your career.

I have been working as a CNC operator for over three years. I work with 2D and 3D lasers, and press brakes. I decided to further develop in the CNC field and completed course 0001 at LAUFERCNC.

During the six-month training, I mastered many useful and essential topics related to milling and gained skills in working with CAD and CAM systems. I am now beginning to practice, and the certificate I received helped open doors that were previously closed to me.

Everything is very well organized!
The training was interesting and productive!
Support is always available.


A big plus is the vast knowledge base on the subject (lesson videos, tutorials, glossaries, etc.).

I would also like to mention the WhatsApp group. You can solve almost any CNC-related problem—and more. There are many participants from different countries, and you’re constantly learning something new.

The course is very comprehensive and covers a wide range of programming topics.

I started learning from scratch, and needless to say, it was challenging — but absolutely achievable. Anton is very attentive to everyone and offers professional help whenever needed.

The course as a whole is a huge plus, though a minor downside is that there isn’t much focus on technical drawings. At the very least, some materials could be provided for free — but overall, I definitely recommend it!

Hello everyone, it’s been over a year since I completed the CNC course.

I’m very satisfied and have no regrets about the time and money invested — it has all paid off, and I really enjoy this job.

I highly recommend studying with "LAUFER CNC".

After completing the STARTA course, I managed to get a job as a CNC machine operator in Poland. Without prior experience or specialized education, I was able to start working after the course. Having received a solid theoretical foundation, I quickly adapted to the job.

What can I say about the course?

* First, a large amount of knowledge. In many areas related to CNC machines (especially macro programming, general programming, engineering graphics, diagnostics, post-processors — this knowledge is worth its weight in gold in factories).
* Second, for a low course fee, you get a vast amount of information. On top of that, the flexibility and ability to watch recorded lessons is very convenient.
* Third, it offers promising development (first gaining knowledge as an operator, then — after some practice — becoming a programmer). This course provides all of that.

What I didn’t like:

* There was no information about measuring tools, which CNC operators often use.
* A lot of time was dedicated to the Fanuc system, while Siemens (SINUMERIK) and Heidenhain were almost completely omitted.

In conclusion, I would recommend this course to anyone interested in CNC machines.

In 2015, I faced the question of retraining — transitioning from conventional machines to CNC machines. After browsing many resources, I came across the LAUFER-CNC website and initially enrolled in a self-paced course to quickly get started in this field.

I must say, the materials were more than enough for me to begin learning the basics of the profession. Later, I wanted to explore deeper CNC concepts, so I took course 0001.

The quality of the courses and training is quite high, and given the global changes in the industry, the importance of quality education has become even more critical in my opinion.

What can I wish for? Only one thing: keep moving forward, keep improving, and never lose your spirit.

I took this course six months ago after working for 4 years as a CNC operator. The course is very comprehensive and suitable for both beginners and experienced CNC operators, because when working in a narrow field for a long time, you tend to forget a lot.

I liked the course, although some parts felt trivial and completely unnecessary for my specific job. However, the course helped me look at my work from a different perspective and eliminate certain issues I hadn’t noticed before.

In 2015, I met Anton at one of the companies in southern Israel. I learned a lot during our time working together. I was working as a CNC programmer and also operated machines, while Anton was the workshop manager. Anton used macro programs to automate production, created prototypes of several tools for milling MDF boards for woodworking, and modified the interface of the SYNTEC CNC system to support industrial macros with a graphical user interface.

All operators in that facility regularly received training advice and still turn to Anton with questions. I highly recommend the courses from STARTA!

At the beginning of 2018, I decided to learn a new profession. Like many others, I was fascinated by machines that could do things on their own — and it turned out those were CNC machines.
I learned what CNC was when I found the Laufer CNC website and realized: this is for me. I had always wanted to work with my hands while also using my head. Back in university, I understood that knowing the Basic programming language and having a mechanical engineering background would be useful. All of this made learning easier — although people around me were learning from scratch, without any prior knowledge.
Thanks to the well-structured program, you can join the training at any stage and, depending on your time and capabilities, quickly master the key areas.

Three months later, I attended job interviews for a CNC Operator position and confidently answered the questions. Most employers were happy that I would only need practical training on a specific machine — this shortened my onboarding time and brought me closer to a salary raise.

Thanks to Anton Laufer’s team for helping me gain a promising career that I can pursue in any city — or even any country!

I completed the course at the end of 2018. I started working without any prior training — it was tough. This course enables an operator to work comfortably and with confidence. G-code and understanding the machine’s logic are essential to avoid "miracles," and that’s exactly what I gained.

There’s a huge amount of information — I haven’t memorized everything yet, and I’m still learning. Over time, it’s absolutely possible to become a competent programmer.

Thanks to the whole team. Everything is great. The prices are like back in the old days — you won’t find a better deal!

I work as a programmer and operator on HAAS and DMC milling machines (as shown in the photo). I’ve achieved significant results. In general, I program jobs of absolutely any complexity. In my short career, I’ve also configured several post-processors, including for mill-turn machines.

Your courses provide unique skills and knowledge in such a complex field as working with CNC equipment. And that’s not just a figure of speech. Gathering so much useful information in one place and keeping it up to date is truly valuable. Anton’s expertise in this area is simply incredible — it’s immediately clear what to strive for. For those who understand, that’s a big plus :) I could say many more good things.

But a review should be short and to the point. So, I’ll just say this: the money spent on this course was spent with great pleasure and, most importantly, with great benefit! :)

You’re doing very important work — best of luck!

I recently completed the course and would like to thank the Laufer CNC team for the high-quality training. I’d especially like to highlight Anton, the course instructor, who answered my questions clearly and respectfully.

The courses gave me not only general knowledge about working with CNC machines, but also the opportunity to work abroad and communicate with professionals from almost all over the world.

The only thing I would recommend to future students is this: right after completing the course — or even during the course — go straight to work or an internship. In other words, solidify your knowledge.

I’m currently working in my profession (operator) on OKUMA and MITSUBISHI machines. The certificate helped me get a job at a facility in the Czech Republic. I’m very satisfied with the courses and highly recommend them!

My name is Valentyn Goncharenko, and I completed the ASKIO courses at the beginning of 2019.

It was a very useful and valuable training experience that I do not regret. The course mentor, Anton, is a true professional — both a theorist and a practitioner — and it’s rare to find someone who can combine both qualities so well.

Currently, I work professionally with CNC lathes. I highly recommend this training center to both beginners and professionals!
