Utilizing Equipment at FUSE
All members must be approved to use specific equipment. There are three ways to be approved:
Operation and Safety Trainings
Members successfully complete an Operations and Safety Training for a designated section of the shop.
Qualification Assessment
Members who already have experience using equipment can “test out” with a staff member. Qualification Assessments for most areas of the shop cost $39 and take less than an hour.
Credit for Prior Learning
Members who have completed or taught an equivalent or higher class at CNM and some select other colleges can receive credit for prior learning. Email [email protected] for more information.
