Eastern Westmoreland Career and Technology Center's Machine Tool Technology Program Renews National Accreditation



Eastern Westmoreland Career and Technology Center has officially renewed the national accreditation of the Machine Tool Technology program as of December 2015.

NIMS accreditation is a national benchmark recognizing excellence in metalworking training as based on national industry-written, industry-approved standards. "By securing this national award, the center demonstrates its continued commitment to providing industry-level training within the state of Pennsylvania and for the greater U.S. manufacturing industry," said a spokesperson.

The Machine Tool Technology Program offers manual and CNC machining training and provides students with the opportunity to earn NIMS certifications, resulting in hundreds of national certifications issued to students to date. Instructor Ken Pedder holds nine NIMS credentials himself.

Following a rigorous on-site audit by veteran NIMS Evaluator Kurt Heinly, the program received the high scores in the accreditation evaluation categories of:

  • Administration Support
  • Equipment, Tooling & Measuring Devices
  • Facilities
  • Instructional Staff
  • Program Features
  • Program Purpose
  • Student Testing Efforts.

Reestablishing this industry award secures accreditation for the next five years.
