Exam Cutting Machine Operator (Summer 2025 Turning/Milling)
Cutting Machine Operator Exam Summer 2025 – done!
The Cutting Machine Operator Exam is a specialized certification (IHK) in Germany that assesses both practical and theoretical skills in CNC machining.
Want to take a closer look at the exam?
On our YouTube channel, you can find 3D simulations of the workpieces (turning & milling) from the written part of this exam – including brief explanations of the individual steps. This gives you a clear idea of what the parts look like and what was expected in the exam.
Please note: This exam and the related content are specific to the German vocational training system and may differ from similar certifications in other countries.
