Do you need these as a verification for some type of a program. I am thinking you need to open up the yellow pages and see what you can find in your area for both things. Look ta this way with one prfession you will become the guy that designs stuff the CAd person or you can be the guy that makes the stuff the Cam person all up to you. I will tell you this though I don't care how much you know about Mastercam if you have no machiist background you are only ever going to be ok at making part in my humble opinion. You need to know what the tools do how they work in certain materials, chip clearence, fixuring for operations, set-up, interpet mechinal drawings ot 3d models, and the list goes on and on. If you draw things all day you need to have some skills but when they Say being a Machinst/Programmer is a skilled position they mean it!!!

 

HTH as far as contact info mine is on our web site. As far as your list goes what James put up is perfect in my book.
