Bring Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing expertise directly to your team with on-site training that’s customized around your production goals and processes.

The Benefits of On-Site GD&T Training

Face-to-Face Interaction

Interact with ASME GD&T Certified instructors who bring decades of engineering expertise straight to your company through live instruction and hands-on demonstration.

Tailored Training

Customize a curriculum around your operation by incorporating real examples from your production process to illustrate how to use GD&T on the prints you see every day.

Engaging Format

Keep employees engaged with on-the-spot knowledge checks and practice exercises in a traditional classroom setting where instructors guide your team’s progress.

Convenient Setup

Bring GD&T training into your facility without taking your team out of the office or coordinating computer access for all the employees on the shop floor.

Fast Results

Train your team in just a few days so employees can resume production quickly with a working knowledge of how to use GD&T to get real results right away.

Online Access

Reinforce your team’s GD&T knowledge with 90-day access to our free online resources, bonus videos, exclusive charts & handouts, and Q&A hotline.

How On-Site GD&T Training Works

Step 1:

Customize a training plan to address your company’s budget, schedule, and specific production goals, with support from our training advisors.

Step 2:

Tailor your curriculum in an NDA-protected consultation with our instructors to design lessons around your prints and production processes.

Step 3:

Learn from a live instructor who travels to your location to teach your team a practical approach to using GD&T on your actual engineering prints.

Step 4:

Apply GD&T knowledge to your operation with ongoing support from your instructor and access to online resources to reinforce your coursework.

Choose from these GD&T Course Options:

Print Reading & Tolerances

Print Reading and Tolerances equips you to work with engineering drawings by breaking down their complexities into key concepts that apply to every print, using a mix of documented standards, shop floor knowledge, and real-world examples.

  • Who it's for: Absolute beginners, new hires, or anyone without formal print reading training
  • No prerequisite courses

GD&T Fundamentals

GD&T Fundamentals teaches a simple framework that allows students to understand how GD&T is used and why it improves the manufacturing process. This course is focused on practical knowledge and uses real-world examples as instructional tools.

  • Who it's for: Engineers, machinists, inspectors, or managers who need to actually use GD&T day-to-day
  • No prerequisite courses

Advanced GD&T

Advanced GD&T builds upon the GD&T Fundamentals course framework to give you a more comprehensive understanding of GD&T standards and to show how GD&T is applied for better design for manufacturability.

  • Who it's for: Design Teams and advanced inspectors who understand the basics and need to dig into complex applications
  • Prerequisites: GD&T Fundamentals

GD&T Inspection

The GD&T Inspection course provides a practical understanding of inspection considerations based on the drawing requirements. You will learn the GD&T inspection mindset - how to simulate part setups, measure parts using metrology equipment, and report inspection results.

  • Who it's for: Engineers, machinists, inspectors, or managers who need to actually use GD&T day-to-day
  • Prerequisites: GD&T Fundamentals

GD&T Design

GD&T Design bridges the gap between knowing GD&T and using it to design real parts. You’ll learn a structured approach to designing parts that assemble correctly, perform consistently, and clearly communicate intent across design, manufacturing, and inspection.

  • Who it's for: Design engineers and drafters; also beneficial for manufacturing engineers, inspectors, and anyone reviewing designs
  • Prerequisites: GD&T Fundamentals and Advanced GD&T

Picture your team fluent in GD&T.

We customize our on-site GD&T training for each client by incorporating examples from your company’s actual parts and production processes, equipping your employees to use GD&T in their daily workflows.

Why Students Love Our On-Site Training

Good content coverage. Good pace. Great explanations. Knowledgeable and practical instructor (beneficial that he is a machinist for a practical POV) Would definitely recommend this training to anyone interested in learning GD&T.

Brandon made it easy to understand and interesting. Plenty of examples were used to convey the information, and I appreciated Brandon's opinions/personal suggestions in addition to the hard rules set by the standard. Having an instructor who is also an experienced machinist and inspector built a solid foundation for the intentions of GD&T.

Brandon did an excellent job in training us by taking a step by step approach in applying GD&T to our example drawings and explaining his thought process along the way. I loved how Brandon took an extremely practical approach to applying GD&T for the example drawings that we sent. I also liked how he catered his approach to our industry which used mostly injection molded materials and told us what we should be doing from his perspective.

Structured in a way that builds on fundamental concepts, the GD&T basics course is great for someone with no experience in geometric dimensioning or for someone looking to build on what they might already know. The learning material was explained clearly with high quality audio, diagrams and handout examples throughout the course. The quizzes and the exam made these learnings concrete and has helped me to be a better engineer in design, manufacture and inspection.
