Learn tolerance stacks from the experts at ETI.
Professionals across the globe turn to Alex Krulikowski and ETI for training in geometric dimensioning and tolerancing. As president of Effective Training Inc., Alex has helped more than 60,000 students learn GD&T through his textbooks, self-study courses, computer-based training, and online learning center. Now you have the opportunity to learn GD&T from Alex or one of his personally trained instructors at an ETI public workshop.

2009 Schedule

Westland, MI
February 16 & 17

August 17 & 18

About the Course
Exclusively from ETI, this advanced course will show you how to calculate tolerance stacks, a crucial skill in today’s competitive workplace. Solve problems in the design stage instead of the production stage, and save time and money by getting it right the first time.

Who Should Attend
This workshop is a valuable tool for individuals who create or interpret engineering drawings: product and gage designers; process, product, and manufacturing engineers; supplier quality engineers; CMM operators; buyers/purchasers; checkers; inspectors; technicians; and sales engineers.

Workshop Highlights
View sample agenda
The workshop is based on a series of goals and objectives. It includes numerous practice problems and in-depth coverage of tolerance stacks applications. You’ll learn how to use tolerance stacks to establish part tolerances, analyze design, create process designs, use geometric tolerances in stacks, and much much more. CEUs will be awarded for successful completion of the course.

Skill Level Needed
Please be aware that this is not an introductory course. In order to qualify for this course, you must already know how to read a blueprint and be familiar with the fundamentals of geometric tolerancing. We recommend taking ETI's GD&T Fundamentals and Advanced Concepts courses before attempting this course.
