GD&T Training - Advanced Concepts
This two or three-day course is a continuation of GD&T – Fundamentals, again focusing on practical GD&T application and introducing additional advanced concepts such as the Datum at Virtual Condition Rule, tolerance calculation and more complex GD&T controls. It covers the Y14.5-1994 and Y14.5-2009 standards.

| TARGET AUDIENCE | COURSE LENGTH |
| This program is designed for anyone who is currently familiar and proficient with the concepts and practices of GD&T. Particular emphasis is placed on those who are responsible for specifying and interpreting technical documentation. Individuals desiring to become a certified Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing Professional (GDTP) by passing the ASME GDTP exam will need this course. Prerequisite: GD&T – Fundamentals or equivalent experience. |
Length: 2 or 3 days or customizable
Time: 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. |
Objectives:
- Review the basic concepts and introduce the more complex concepts of the Y14.5 standard
- Provide participants with the knowledge of proper Datum Feature selection and specification
- Enable participants to properly interpret and apply each of the Y14.5 controls and rules
- Enable participants to calculate functional tolerances for position and other tolerances
- Continue preparing the participants for the ASME GDTP certification exams
Reasons for attending:
Your drawings have GD&T on them! If you have been through the GD&T - Fundamentals and you need more knowledge and skill to increase your effectiveness, this course is for you. This program is a continuation of your education in the Y14.5 standard. In this program, we focus on the application and interpretation of GD&T - another step closer to becoming a GD&T expert.
