From Confusion to Confidence

Your CNC Is Capable of More. You Just Need a Clear Path.

The problem is not that you are incapable of learning Vectric. The problem is trying to piece everything together without a structured process showing you what to learn, when to use it, and how it all fits together.

Where You May Be Now

Vectric Feels Harder Than It Should

  • You jump between scattered videos but still do not understand the complete workflow.
  • You know the project you want to make, but are unsure which design tools to use.
  • Toolpath settings feel intimidating, so you second-guess every important decision.
  • You worry about wasting material, breaking bits, or damaging an expensive machine.
  • Your CNC has more potential than you are currently able to use with confidence.

Where You Can Be

Creating Projects With Confidence

  • Open Vectric and know exactly where to begin instead of staring at a blank screen.
  • Turn your own ideas into clean, accurate designs without copying every step from a tutorial.
  • Build toolpaths with a clear understanding of what each setting does and why it matters.
  • Catch mistakes before machining and troubleshoot problems without starting over.
  • Spend more time creating finished projects and less time searching for answers.

That Clear Path Is Exactly What VMTC Provides

The Vectric Master Training Course walks you through the software in the right order, then helps you apply what you learn through practical projects—so you develop real skills, not just the ability to follow another tutorial.

★★★★★
“Learn Your CNC is saving my life. I just spent very close to $4,000 on this CNC adventure and then realized I did not know how to run the silly thing.

Kyle has put together a program that fits me to a tee. Everything is according to my schedule. If I did not fully understand, I just rewind a minute or two and listen again.

The best thing for me is he takes a project from every beginning step and goes through all the way to the end product. His teaching aids are easy to understand, and he does not assume that I already know something.

Finally, it was affordable—one price for life. He updates when Vectric updates, so I am not left behind. I am a fan!”

★★★★★
“LYCNC is a game changer. I bought a CNC with no prior experience other than some hobby laser cutting with LightBurn. I wanted to learn the Vectric software quickly so I could get up and running fast. This course is helping me make that happen.

Kyle and his team at LYCNC are fantastic. He is a very polite and patient teacher. I love how he explains how to master the software, and he has personally answered many of my questions when I get stumped.

I fully recommend LYCNC’s Master Course as well as the weekly Zoom sessions. It really helps me not feel so overwhelmed.”

“The customer service team at Learn Your CNC Academy is second to none. Rarely do you find representatives with as much passion for what they do as this team.

Not only are they highly knowledgeable, but they assist me in a way that does not make me feel bad about how little I really know about CNC.

It has been a pleasure working with them. There are other courses out there, but none this extensive and backed with the customer service they deliver.”

Time capsule CNC project made by Matt Stouffer Student Project
“I wanted to share this finished project with everyone. It came out great. Thanks to the LYCNC community for helping.

This is a time capsule for the city of Surprise, Arizona. They held a 250 celebration on the Fourth of July with city hall employees and elected officials to fill this time capsule, lock it up, and put it on display in city hall to be opened in 2076.

Pretty cool, I thought. Thanks again for all the help. I look forward to my next challenge.”

End-grain inlay cutting board made by Michael Rosenberg Student Project
“Just wanted to share an inlay cutting board, 12 by 18 inches, made from padauk, yellowheart, and maple, that I made for my daughter, Caitlin.

We were both very pleased with the outcome. This is an end-grain board that should last a lifetime!”
Michael Rosenberg Michael Rosenberg End-Grain Inlay Cutting Board
Walnut coin display designed and machined by Darrin Nicholson Student Project

Learn From Someone Who Teaches CNC Users Every Day

The Vectric Master Training Course was built from years of teaching real CNC users, answering their questions, seeing where they get stuck, and turning complicated Vectric tools into a clear process they can actually follow.

Kyle Ely, founder and instructor at Learn Your CNC Academy
Kyle Ely Founder and Lead Instructor, Learn Your CNC Academy

Hi, I’m Kyle.

My CNC journey started in 2009 when, at just 16 years old, I built my first CNC machine in my bedroom. What started as a hobby grew into more than 15 years of hands-on CNC experience spanning everything from small hobby machines to high-end production CNC routers and architectural woodworking.

Today, I teach CNC and Vectric software full-time through Learn Your CNC Academy. Along the way, I’ve become a Vectric beta tester, spoken at Vectric industry events, and helped thousands of CNC users around the world become more confident with VCarve, Aspire, and the complete CNC workflow. I also founded the Vectric Tips & Tricks Facebook community, which has grown into one of the largest communities dedicated to helping Vectric users with over 65k+ members.

That combination of real-world machining experience and years of teaching is what shaped the Vectric Master Training Course. I don’t just want to show you which buttons to click. I want you to understand why you’re doing it, when to use each tool, and how everything fits together so you can confidently create your own CNC projects without constantly searching for the next tutorial.

02 Can I upgrade to the Aspire course later?

Yes. If you begin with the VCarve Master Training Course and later upgrade your software to Aspire, you can upgrade to the Aspire course by paying the price difference.

Your existing course progress and access remain intact. The Aspire upgrade adds the advanced Aspire-only training, including Level 5: Advanced 3D Modeling and Level 7: Advanced Rotary.

03 Can I use the free trial version of Vectric?

Yes. You can use the free trial version of Vectric to follow the software lessons, practice designing projects, and learn how the design and toolpath tools work.

The trial version has limitations. You can design projects and create toolpaths, but you generally cannot export the toolpaths needed to run your CNC until you purchase a licensed version of the software.

Combined with our 30-day money-back guarantee, the Vectric trial is a practical way to test the waters, learn the workflow, and decide whether the software and course are right for you before fully committing.

04 Will this course work with my CNC machine?

The course focuses primarily on Vectric software and the design and toolpath workflow, so the training applies to most CNC routers that use Vectric-generated toolpaths.

Students use many different CNC brands, controllers, machines, and post-processors. Machine-specific setup may vary, but the core design and toolpath principles remain the same.

05 How long will it take me to complete the course?

There is no required completion schedule. Some students move through the beginner material quickly, while others work through the course gradually as they complete projects.

You can pause, rewind, repeat lessons, and return whenever you need a refresher. The goal is not to rush through the course—it is to understand the material well enough to use it confidently.

06 Do I receive lifetime access?

Yes. Your purchase includes lifetime access to the course version you select. There is no required monthly subscription to continue accessing your training.

You can revisit the lessons whenever you need help with a new project or want to refresh your understanding of a tool or workflow.

07 What happens when Vectric releases a software update?

Relevant updates are added to your purchased course as Vectric changes and new training becomes necessary.

This helps keep the course useful over time without requiring you to repurchase the same training every time the software receives an update.

08 What support is included if I get stuck?

Your enrollment includes access to the private student community, where you can ask questions, share projects, and connect with other CNC users.

You also receive access to Spindle Sam 2.0, our course-trained AI assistant that can help you locate lessons, understand course topics, and find relevant training around the clock.

Weekly live sessions and additional ongoing support are available through our separate Live Vectric Group Training membership .

09 Can I watch the course on my phone or tablet?

Yes. You can access the course from your computer, tablet, or phone through the course website.

Your enrollment also includes access through our mobile app, available for both Apple and Android devices. This makes it easy to review lessons in your shop or continue learning away from your main computer.

Completing the hands-on software exercises is generally easiest on the computer where Vectric is installed.

10 Does the course include live training?

Live training is not included with the one-time purchase of the Vectric Master Training Course. VMTC includes the complete self-paced course, lifetime access, private student community, and Spindle Sam 2.0.

For ongoing live help, weekly Q&A sessions, project lessons, and additional member support, you can join our Live Vectric Group Training membership .

11 Are payment options available?

Flexible payment options may be available during checkout, depending on your location, payment method, and the options displayed by the checkout provider.

The standard listed price is a one-time payment with no required monthly course subscription.

12 What is the 30-day money-back guarantee?

Your enrollment is protected by a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you are not happy with the course during your first 30 days, you may request a refund according to the terms of our policy.
