SAFETY & TOOL USE CERTIFICATION (STUC)

Best For: Former Students certifying for Open Studio Access for a new term

Safety & Tool Use Certifications (STUCs) are available to current Members who have completed an adult-level 5-week, 10-week, or equivalent Immersion Class at CIADC during a previous term.

What is the Safety & Tool Use Certification?
The quarterly STUC is the gateway for former Students to continue working during Open Studio Access (OSA). The STUCs serves as a general and Department-specific safety and policy refresher, and is an opportunity to introduce new shop tools, processes, etc. The STUC replaces the “face-time” of a Class.

STUC certification is by Department and must be renewed each term.

Who needs to complete a STUC?
Members who have previously completed a 5-week, 10-week, or equivalent Immersion Class in one or more Departments must complete the Department STUC(s) to use OSA in that/those Department Shops during a new term.

*NEW* Student Members: Members enrolled in any Class are automatically registered for the current term STUC(s).
