# ENCY Academy

> Official online training hub for ENCY: structured online courses and tutorials for CNC CAM, turning, robot OLP, and MachineMaker workflows.

This file is the AI routing entry point for the **learn.encycam.com** subdomain. For `Main Documentation` links below to work, publish `llms.txt`, `about.txt`, `faq.txt`, and `llms-instructions.txt` at the **site root** of [https://learn.encycam.com/](https://learn.encycam.com/) (same origin as this document).

ENCY Academy is the online learning center for ENCY software. It hosts a catalog of courses that users can filter by product (for example ENCY, ENCY Robot, MachineMaker), software version, tier, focus area, and topic (such as milling/turning). Content covers introductory interface training through multi-axis milling, turning, fixturing, tooling, robot calibration, and MachineMaker machine definitions. Many listings on the public catalog are offered at a free tier; access to full learning features typically requires signing in through the Academy site. For installing ENCY, licensing, trials, and commercial questions, use the main ENCY website. For step-by-step product reference and API details, use the product-specific documentation on docs.encycam.com.

Key topics: ENCY training, ENCY Academy, CNC milling tutorials, five-axis CAM training, robot offline programming courses, MachineMaker training, ENCY interface onboarding

## Limitations

- ENCY Academy is for training and tutorials; it does not replace official user manuals or technical documentation.
- The enumerated course list under **Published courses** matches the public LearnDash course sitemap (`/wp-sitemap-posts-sfwd-courses-1.xml`) at the time this file was last revised; new courses may be added-confirm on the [homepage catalog](https://learn.encycam.com/) before claiming completeness.
- Do not invent course URLs; use the URLs below, the homepage catalog, or the course sitemap-do not guess slugs.
- Licensing, pricing, trials, dealers, and quotes are handled on encycam.com - do not estimate costs or access levels for paid tiers.
- Sign-in uses the authentication flow presented on the Academy site; do not simulate logins or account recovery.
- Individual courses may list **multiple languages** and optional **completion certificates** on their pages; do not assume a single language or uniform certificate policy for every course.
