Our GD&T Fundamentals Training Course is also designed to be very approachable and geared towards everyone from entry-level to those with intermediate experience. To take this training, you should have some experience in a design, production or inspection environment working with engineering drawings. You should also be able to understand how parts are represented and viewed on a print. No prior GD&T knowledge is required, though!

Our GD&T Advanced Training Course builds on the information in our Fundamentals Training. We will explore a deeper understanding and application of advanced concepts of GD&T. We require completion of our GD&T Fundamentals Course, or an equivalent GD&T course, before enrolling in the GD&T Advanced Training.

Our 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. This course requires prior completion of the GD&T Fundamentals course, as it expands upon our Fundamentals concepts to effectively evaluate if a part meets required specifications.

Public Training:

• Public training sessions bring together participants from a variety of industries, departments, and backgrounds in one class.
