+==== Training Program ====
+The Training Program for Jaxen will teach you all the following skills:
+  * General access and group communication when using Jaxen CNC.
+  * Installing and removing collets/bits safely
+  * Choosing the right tools for the job
+  * How to 'drive' Jaxen
+  * Mapping G-code to physical workpiece coordinates
+  * Tool depth calibration
+  * Re-mounting part (multi-job)
+  * Workpiece holding
+  * Understanding basic G-Code for troubleshooting and manual data entry
+  * CAD job prep: For example, choosing inside corner radii based on bits used.
