TrainSMART DEFINED

What is TrainSMART?

TrainSMART is Pro-Cut's nationwide training and certification program in rotor matching. The two-part program begins with an online class where techs complete a ten section web based program with companion videos, take a 15 question quiz, and upon passing the quiz, print a personalized certificate. This takes approximately 30-45 minutes to complete.

The second part of the program is a hands-on training class offered either at one of our official training centers, or on site at your shop given by your local Pro-Cut Expert. Every new lathe sold by Pro-Cut includes this on site training at no additional cost and to get the most of the hands on training taking the online class is a prerequisite. Please bring your printed certificate to the hands on training and the instructor will sign it to certify that you are now a full Pro-Cut Certified Technician!
