GRAND RAPIDS, MI – The education unit of Stiles Machinery, distributor of CNC equipment for processing wood panel, solid wood, composites and other material, was reaccredited by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET).

Stiles Education says it was the only company in the woodworking industry to receive the designation, and one of only 478 IACET authorized providers in the nation.

“Our renewed partnership with IACET is a demonstration of our commitment to lifelong learning and high standards for all of our programs,” said Peter Kleinschmidt, Stiles’ president and CEO. More than 30,000 individuals have completed training through Stiles Education since 1990, he says.

Stiles Education provides machine-specific training through scheduled sessions at its regional training facilities or on premises at a company's manufacturing site. The curriculum ranges from introduction to panel processing through advanced programming and troubleshooting for computer numeric controls. Stiles Education is also certified as a Woodwork Career Alliance certification site.
