I would suggest you just buy CNC PROGRAMING HANDBOOK by Peter Smid.
It covers a lot. There is also a book by Haas on programing in Members Docs.
The Smid book in the first 100 - 125 pages will ground you in basics and will be a reference for years.
Save your money for courses that give you credit or certificates.
Just my nickel,
BTW, talk to machinists and find out what they are required to do at work, what they earn, the prospects of work in your area.
Nothing wrong with talking to shops if they would be interested in hiring you as a helper for the summer.
And remember this, a career is only as good as YOUR ability to secure your next position or job.
Fact of life is like .......... big pay the job sucks....great job the pay sucks....never a true balance anymore of things being just right!
GOOD LUCK in your pursuit of happiness,
RICH
