CTD’s Ryan Pohl recognized by Modern Machine Shop

CTG — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 12:45:19 +0000

Congratulations and kudos to Ryan Pohl on having CTU recognized by the Federal Department of Labor as a Certified Journeyman Training Program.

Modern Machine Shop recently featured Ryan and CTU in their April 2008 edition — Machinist. Programmer. Teacher.Those are three tool-and-die shop professions—or maybe not. Most shops don’t have the third one: teacher. To almost any company that makes molds and dies, that profession would seem out of place.

Following a philosophy of “mastery learning,” CTU requires students to master all required tasks before the student passes a class. Question-and-answer tests are also part of every class, and the minimum acceptable passing score is 100 percent.
“Our customers won’t accept 70 percent as a passing grade for a mold, so we can’t set up our training program to work that way, either”…
