I-BEST Manufacturing Trades Training

Spokane Community College ETPL
This program provides a common core of courses that all students enroll in before entering the job-specific coursework. There are two options for students: welding and fabrication and computer numeric control (CNC) machining. Upon successful completion of the one quarter Integrated Trades Training program, students will be eligible to enroll in any one of the following programs: Machinist/CNC Technology: AAS degree; Welding and Fabrication Certificate. I-Best students will be given priority in two ways: they will be placed on the top of any waiting list; and eight I-Best credits will be transferred into the designated program chosen. Students in the I-Best program may transfer into either AAs degree or certificate programs listed above.
