I will note that if folks ask about courses for our machines we will respond with:
There aren’t any school courses which are specific to Carbide Create and Carbide Motion which we are aware of.

and video tutorials:

and a number of custom tutorials such as the prototypical make a coaster project: Let's make a coaster — while obsolete with CC’s new corner options, it is still a useful tutorial on Boolean operations or doing this to imported or drawn objects.
We also do one-on-one video instruction as noted on our contact page: Contact Carbide 3D Sales and Support
