I've never heard of a CNC programmer or operator that doesn't have experience as a manual machinist.
Schooling here is optional, and you're able to challenge the exam after 4000hrs or 6000hrs of relevant experience to become a journeyman. (can't remember)
if you're genuinly interested than how you proceed needs to be a judgement call on your end.
have you networked/made a reputation proper enough to work in a jobbing shop with 0 experience? if not id recommend heading to a tech school, instead of challenging the exam. unless you can find a job that is.
good manual machinists shouldn't have a hard time finding a job if they're willing to move. but for excellent job security, CNC and/or tool and die are a must.
I haven't made contacts in the machining industry no. I was thinking I might need to go take classes first. I do t mind that, a structured environment helps. -

we are in my workfield now:
Gages, Fixtures & Prototype Parts
Build, complete or partial
Repair
Hold Close Tolerances
Complete Part Inspection
Fabricate, from sketch or verbal instructions
Modify or Alter to customer's request
To 80 millionths accuracy
Electronic File Transfer
Specialized & General Machining
Wire EDM
Jig Grinding
Surface Grinding
Jig Bore
Milling
CNC Fourth Axis Milling
Lathe
CNC is for LOSERS!!
to be a real Toolmaker you must know:
1) trigonometry (we use the triangle and work off of the Right Angle)
2) Metallurgy to understand the density of the metal to know how fast you can use a cutter (end mill made of high speed steel, or carbon, or possibly with diamond plated, could be a ceramic end mill…just so many and each uses a different speed per the type of material)
3) need to understand x-y-z (x = left to right or right to left)(y = front to back or back to front)(z = up and down)
4) need to know GD&T = everything you see on a BLUEPRINT is defined by GD&T
5) Machinist Handbooks are really the BIBLE of the Machine Shop so penny up and buy the recent $150 dollar version
6) need to know what Tolerances mean
7) need to understand the ZERO Scale that numbers run both on the Positive and Negative sides.
8) need to know what a standard Mill, Lathe, Grinder are and you will need 8,000 hours on each Machine to be qualified for your JOURNEYMAN'S CARD!!
9) find a position for Apprenticeship that will make you take classes at a Technical University.
10) THERE WILL NEVER BE A DUMB QUESTION SO ASK IT INSTEAD OF WRECKING MY MACHINE EQUIPMENT!!
there are so many more things to list, but after 20 years doing this that 10 things to consider about the Machine Shop Environment just flew off the top of my noggin..

Trump declared Wednesday that the U.S. is building a border wall in Colorado despite the fact that the Western state does not sit on the U.S-Mexico border.
"You know why we're going to win New Mexico? Because they want safety on their border. And they didn't have it," Trump said during a speech at the Shale Insight conference in Pittsburgh.
"And we’re building a wall on the border of New Mexico," he continued. "And we’re building a wall in Colorado. We’re building a beautiful wall, a big one that really works that you can’t get over, you can’t get under."
He added, "And we’re building a wall in Texas. And we’re not building a wall in Kansas, but they get the benefit of the walls we just mentioned. And Louisiana’s incredible.”
Colorado Gov. Jared Polis
Well this is awkward…Colorado doesn’t border Mexico,” Polis wrote on Facebook after the apparent misstatement by Trump.
“Good thing Colorado now offers free full day kindergarten so our kids can learn basic geography,” he added.
To be fair, I don't think Coloradoans would mind a wall on the border with Nebraska
