Learn
geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) fundamentals
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

About the Course
If you have a basic understanding of mechanical drawings, Alex can teach you the terms, rules, symbols, and concepts of GD&T as prescribed in the ASME Y14.5M-1994 Standard.
You'll get an in-depth explanation of geometric symbols, including each symbol's requirements, tolerance zones, and limitations. The class includes a comparison of GD&T to coordinate tolerancing; an explanation of tolerance zones; Rules #1 and #2; form and orientation controls; tolerance of position; runout and profile controls. Throughout the class, you'll hone your newly acquired skills with over 300 practice problems. This complete course in GD&T fundamentals is the most thorough and comprehensive training on the market.
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.
