# Relation to AM.CO.ZA / CNC Training

## Ownership / branding

- Site email for contributors: **softwaretraining@am.co.za**
- About page quote attributed to **MD Eric / Ambitious Machinery (Pty) Ltd**
- Many tutorials explicitly brand software as **AM.CO.ZA InkRIP**, machines from **AM.CO.ZA**, and CNC purchases **from AM.CO.ZA** (e.g. FabriCAM setup series part on buying CNC machines).
- Contact numbers in the site chrome match AM.CO.ZA sales/support/training lines (see `contact-locations-request.md`).

## Why the site exists (from public TruCUT article)

AM.CO.ZA states that customers need to fully use the software supplied with cutting systems to earn capacity. Trial-and-error leaves features untapped and can lose production revenue. Therefore AM.CO.ZA developed **softwaretraining.co.za** as a dedicated repository of training/instructional videos from basics to complex topics for all skill levels.

## How it complements machine purchase training

When customers buy equipment (example given: laser cutter + TruCUT RDWorks):

1. They receive **standard operational training** from AM.CO.ZA technical staff (basic machine + design software operation — described as industry-standard supplier practice).
2. The website then hosts **extensive short video series** so users can learn additional functionality in their own time, without the time constraints of a paid instructor.
3. Content works “hand-in-hand” with other free offerings (e.g. template libraries) to give businesses an initial boost while learning systems.

## CNC / production angle

- Videos are framed for a **production environment**, not only office apps.
- Style differs from structured paid courses: presented by **existing trade users** with tips/shortcuts (example: TruCUT light layers, grouped cuts, language settings).
- Goal stated publicly: help customers be **productive and profitable** with both hardware and software from AM.CO.ZA.

## Link from am.co.za KB

Earlier company ingest already listed SoftwareTraining.co.za as the free CNC software training channel (was deferred). This pass fills that gap under `sources/training/`.
