The GD&T Inspection course expands upon the concepts taught in the GD&T Fundamentals course, and explores the translation of GD&T interpretation into tangible physical inspections. Understanding how to interpret GD&T (covered in Fundamentals) is crucial; without it, inspecting GD&T becomes challenging. It's essential to first understand the requirements indicated by GD&T callouts on the drawing to effectively evaluate if a part meets those specifications.

While the Fundamentals course explores the "what & why" of GD&T, the GD&T Inspection course focuses on the real-world "how" from an inspector's perspective. The act of interpreting GD&T significantly differs from the inspection of GD&T. Techniques related to inspection methods and reporting criteria are not taught in Fundamentals.

The course is structured based on the ASME Y14.45 Measurement Data Reporting standard, with an objective to provide a standardized procedure for reporting a feature's compliance. However, as stated in our GD&T Fundamentals course, the interpretation of the fundamentals of GD&T remains the same, regardless of the chosen standard (ISO or ASME). Equally important is the fact that none of these standards dictate HOW we verify that a part meets the specifications of GD&T. Part conformance is left up to the professional’s discretion and the processes they choose.

Our lessons utilize real world drawing examples and have high quality animations, graphics, and videos of metrology equipment and setups to give a very real world experience that you can take back to your job the very next day.

We’re here to help you apply what you’ve learned — not just finish the course.

• If you enroll in the online course, you’ll have full access to the learning platform for 1 year after enrollment. Even after you complete the training, you can revisit the lessons anytime for review or as a reference on the job.

• If you complete custom live training, you’ll receive 90 days of platform access after the training wraps up — including everything available in the online version.

Included with both formats:

• Access to previously recorded webinars and bonus video content

• Extra practice examples and tips

• Direct email support from ASME certified GD&T instructors for real-world questions

Whether you're reviewing a concept for a project or facing a tricky drawing at work, we’re here to help long after the course ends.

This course equips learners with bare minimum requirements to check a feature to see if it meets the GD&T requirements using common hand tools. We then expand upon that and help the students to extrapolate that to more applicable scenarios that learners encounter during their daily inspections. The experience gained in comprehending how manual inspections verify specifications empowers students to easily transition to other inspection procedures for any given part or feature.
