FUNDAMENTALS OF GD&T
"Very detailed. The instructor did a nice job
in presenting the information."
"I was able to build on my current understanding."
(This program is
also available on DVD (Self-Directed Learning) and course
materials including PowerPoint and student workbooks can be made
available for your internal instructors' needs).
This course is an introduction to the ASME Y14.5M-1994 standard focusing on the what,
when, why, and especially how of GD&T. This course is designed to bring you to a basic and
operational level of understanding.
After you have taken the Fundamentals of GD&T, you may want to
advance to the next level.
Here is the link to the
course description for the Advanced Concepts of GD&T
workshop.

REASONS FOR ATTENDING
Your drawings have GD&T on them (or maybe they should!). If you have been
attempting to work with GD&T, and you lack the confidence to specify or are having trouble
interpreting the specifications, this course is for you. Using GD&T improperly can be worse
than not using it at all!
This program is a complete introduction to the ASME Y14.5M-1994 standard. In this program we
will focus on the "what, when, why and how" of GD&T. The main goal is to bring all
participants to a common, basic and operational level of understanding. The course is a thorough
introduction to those with a little to a moderate level of experience with GD&T. If
certification is your goal, consider completing the Advanced GD&T seminar as well.

Expanded Topics that we
will cover in the workshop!
CONTINUING SERVICE:
We are particularly concerned that the individuals that we teach actually retain that which
their companies and we have worked so hard to present. This concern is precisely why we offer,
for each participant of our seminar, access to a senior consultant (usually the instructor of
the course) who will be available to answer any follow up questions after the course via
telephone or fax.
