“This class was perfect for me! It was the right amount of information needed to take the "edge off" and to be WAY more comfortable about using it. They covered all the basics and then some. The trainers were perfectly selected for the tasks and I was very impressed with their knowledge. This class is a MUST to be able to get the most from your new machine!”

“What a great class. Well thought out and really set up well especially for beginners on the machine. When I got home, I was very confident in aligning my lasers and starting cuting. After class advice was so appreciated. I think anyone who takes this course will walk away with a lot of confidence. Thank you again!”

“I found the GWeike M-Series laser training provided by Creekside Laser to be very informative. The instructors walked us through every aspect of the machine, from setup and software to cutting, welding, and maintenance. Each topic was thoroughly explained and reinforced with hands-on activity. I would highly recommend this training to anyone looking to get the most out of their machine.”
