A GD&T live web public workshop provides all the features of a traditional workshop: it’s comprehensive, interactive, and allows the instructor and students the ability to give, receive, and discuss information. It also provides advantages beyond traditional training: it’s convenient, cost-effective and allows flexible scheduling, while still offering all the benefits of face-to-face delivery. It fills the gap between classroom training and self-paced e-learning.
