Top companies like BMW, Caterpillar, GE, John Deere, Boeing and NASA use GD&T to specify how to control the functions of complex designs. Even the smallest companies who use engineering drawings will always require the ability to communicate geometric tolerances clearly on their prints. To put it simply… if your career or business involves reading or creating engineering designs or drawings, you will need GD&T.
If you look around for a fundamentals of GD&T course you can pay anywhere from $1200 to $2000 per course! The problem is that most GD&T training programs are overly complex. They to cover the GD&T standard from top to bottom and cram in every theory without showing how you will be working with the concepts on the job.
For a fraction of the price and only a few flexible hours of your time, we will teach you all the GD&T knowledge you need while ensuring that you will be able remember it, communicate with it, and apply it!
Current Engineering Students – Rarely do they teach what you need to know about GD&T in any college course, but it is used so often in the real world! Be sure you have GD&T on your resume before applying to any mechanical, automotive or aeronautical engineering position.
CAD Engineers – If you are in a drafting role related to design, quality or manufacturing, you need to make sure you understand how GD&T is applied in the real world. If you are barely getting by with your current GD&T knowledge or think GD&T is just too confusing, we will simplify it for you!
Entry Level Engineers/Technicians – GD&T is a must on your resume when applying for jobs or when trying to advance in your current career. Most manufacturing or mechanical companies will not even consider candidates without a foundation in GD&T.
Engineering & Production Managers – It is essential that your whole team is on the same page when it comes to working with engineering drawings. GD&T is the full language of engineering drawings. When your workforce has a full grasp of GD&T they become more collaborative and effective in their work.
CNC Machinists – knowing how to control and measure for GD&T is a MUST. You will often require geometric tolerancing on the parts you fabricate to ensure proper function and a happy customer.
Machine Shop Owner or Operator – Understanding how to translate your designer’s intent and find cost saving alternatives is incredibly important to your business. GD&T gives you the power to control your process and parts without over constraining tolerances that are impossible to hold.

How do we know what you are going to use?
Our course development team consists of design engineers and CNC machinists who have years of experience in the automotive and fabrication industries.
We discovered that despite the differences in the fields we are in, we all focused on the same few elements of GD&T over and over. While sometimes we came across more complex elements of GD&T in our jobs, 90% of the time we relied on the same core concepts.
