PRINT READING FOR INDUSTRY
DVD SELF-DIRECTED TRAINING

Print Reading develops workers' abilities to locate and interpret dimensions on engineering drawings, skills which are essential to the success of any quality improvement or scrap reduction efforts. It's a practical, application-based program that's based on current ANSI standards and includes input from a broad cross-section of industries.

Per-Use training* - This course is available on a "Per-Use" basis. The cost for this option is $195 per person. If you would like a comprehensive Application Guide created specifically to follow along with this course, it is available for $39 (includes shipping). Also available is an Instructor’s Guide $95 (includes shipping) which includes answers to all of the problems in the student Application Guide.

This is far more than a self-study course. To get the most out of this course, an expert instructor is available for questions as you take this course, so you are definitely not on your own! After successful completion of this course, each registered student will receive an official Certificate of Completion.
