GD&T Training - Fundamentals
“Very detailed. The instructor did a nice job in presenting the information.” This course is an introduction to the Y14.5M-1994 and Y14.5-2009 standards focusing on the what, when, why, and especially the how of GD&T. This course is designed to bring you a basic and operational level of understanding by using visual aids such as our GD&T videos. After you have taken GD&T – Fundamentals, you may want to move to the next level, GD&T – Advanced. (GD&T Training is also offered as a Self-Directed Learning Option)

Time: 8:00 - 4:00 |
Reasons for Attending:
Your drawings have GD&T symbols on them (or they should)! If you have been attempting to work with GD&T, and you lack the confidence to specify, or are having trouble interpreting the specifications, this GD&T training is for you. Using GD&T improperly can be worse than not using it at all.
