Industry Focused Machine Training

Training for Beginners, Professionals, and Teams

Spyderlab North OC Campus is a hands on technical training center focused on teaching real world production and machine skills used in today’s design, print, and manufacturing industries. Established in 2018, Spyderlab began as a school based program bringing professional equipment and industry aligned instruction directly into classrooms across Orange County. Since then, we have trained students, educators, and future professionals in more than 34 schools, helping bridge the gap between education and industry through practical, skills based learning.

Our campus expands this mission by offering structured, in person training for adults, small business owners, creatives, and corporate teams. Instead of open access machine use, Spyderlab is built around guided instruction, certifications, and mentor led learning. Every class is designed to prepare individuals to confidently operate equipment in professional environments, whether for employment, business growth, or continued education.

Certifications That Demonstrate Real Skills

Spyderlab certifications are skill based credentials that verify hands on competency with specific machines and workflows. These certifications support job readiness, workplace advancement, and professional confidence when operating production equipment.

A Learning Environment Built for Growth

The North OC Campus is designed as a focused training environment rather than an open makerspace. Our classrooms and labs are structured to support instruction, mentorship, and safe learning.

Rooted in Education, Connected to Industry

Our mentors actively teach in schools, collaborate with educators, and work with industry partners to ensure our training stays relevant and aligned with workforce needs. The North OC Campus is a continuation of that work, creating clear pathways from learning to real world application.

Available Workshops

Classes

Workshop Classes are individual, stand-alone training sessions focused on a specific machine, software, or production technique. Students may enroll in a single class to learn a new process, expand their knowledge, or prepare for more advanced training.

Courses

Workshop Courses are ideal for students seeking comprehensive training, professional certification, or the confidence and experience needed to operate equipment independently in a production environment or start their own creative business.
