Our analysis looked at 15 schools in Wisconsin to see which basic certificate programs offered the best value experiences for precision production students with the aim of identifying those quality schools that are more affordable than some of their counterparts.

Our ranking of value is based on the quality of a program as defined in our per sticker price dollar.
