NIMS Awards First National Accreditation to Georgia Precision Machining Program



Established in 1975, the Precision Machining Program at Golden Isles Career Center became nationally accredited by NIMS on January 29, 2016. "NIMS Accreditation is a benchmark for metalworking training programs in the United States as based on national, industry-written and industry-driven skills standards," said a NIMS spokesperson.

As the second nationally accredited program in the state, the center demonstrates its commitment to providing industry-level training for Glynn County, the state of Georgia, and for the greater U.S. manufacturing industry. Led by Instructor Philip Davis, the center's staff and faculty have met the stringent quality requirements set forth by NIMS, which include a program self-audit, the certifying of faculty and students in NIMS national, industry credentials and an intensive two-day on-site evaluation at the center.

The on-site evaluation occurred in spring 2015 and was led by NIMS Evaluator Joan Cook (RICOWI, Inc.) who was assisted by Education Representative Jeffrey Friend (Savannah Technical College) and Industry Representative Albert G. McDougald, Jr. (Jeffreys Manufacturing Solutions). The visit included a comprehensive facility inspection, observation of student safety habits and a series of in-depth interviews with faculty, administrators and local employers.

This accreditation is based on NIMS National Skill Standards for Machining Level I with a focus on the manual milling and turning skills. All NIMS standards and credentials are industry-written and industry-approved.
