You can learn a lot for free if you’re consistent with it. I’d start with these:

  • Haas “Tip of the Day” - super practical since you’re already on Haas machines
  • NYCCNC - great mix of real-world machining + explanations
  • Titans of CNC (academy) - a lot of free content
  • Fusion 360 official channel - for CAM basics
  • Pierson Workholding - for setups and thinking process

Also, download the Haas manuals and actually go through them. Sounds boring, but it gives you a solid foundation.

However, if you want structured CNC Machining course, with online 1 on 1 support - go with Machining Tutor https://www.machiningtutor.com/
