Overview

The course covers the fundamental concepts of GD&T and its application and interpretation. The course is suitable for anyone who is familiar with the conventions of engineering drawing and dimensional (or ±) tolerances, and is relevant to anyone who has to produce or interpret mechanical engineering specifications.

 

Target Audience

The course is suitable for Designers, Engineers, Inspectors, Technicians, and Engineering Management.
