This course is the same as our Full Course with Live Instructor, but in a package that allows you to study whenever you have time.
Instead of having a "live" instructor, we provide a series of audio CDs that were recorded during actual Live Instructor training sessions. The audio CDs include questions from students and answers from the instructor. It's as close as you can get to actually attending a Live Instructor class. Questions from students purchasing this training material will be answered via e-mail or telephone. Since the course is the same, the topics covered are the same as those in the Live Instructor version of the class.
We start with Three Basic Principles. Just like any other discipline, it is very difficult to succeed without understanding the basics. Unlike other courses, the basics are where we start. Then, after building a firm foundation, we teach all the rules and allowable modifiers. Finally, when the student understands all the ins and outs of the Y14.5M Standard, he or she is prepared to learn to calculate Fits, Clearances, Wall Thicknesses and Bonus Tolerance, because the student has a complete understanding of what is allowed and required by the Standard. Upon completion of the course and some self-study of the course materials, which are keyed to relevant paragraphs in the Standard, and the review and reinforcement Question and Answer sets that are supplied with the course, the student will be prepared to take and pass the ASME Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing Professional Certification Exam at the Technologist Level.
Included in this class as the first session, is our Understanding Mechanical Drawings class. This is an essential part of learning the "basics", and puts everyone on the same level to begin the GD&T class. There is no additional charge for this class.
Included class materials are:
Understanding Mechanical Drawings Student Manual
260 page GD&T Student Manual in a 3-ring binder
A copy of the ASME Y14.5M-1994 Standard (A $145.00 value, and pre-punched to store in the Student Manual binder)
