Fundamentals of GD&T ASME Y14.

5-1994
Overview

Course Length: 24 - 48 hours (can be taken via flexible schedule in-center or remotely)

Description: This course is a comprehensive fundamentals course covering the ASME Y14.5M-1994
Geometric Dimension and Tolerancing (GD&T) standard. The course is designed for anyone who designs, drafts,
engineers, purchases, manufactures, estimates, and inspects parts and assemblies. Particular emphasis is placed on
those who design and manufacture and those responsible for quality. The course is structured into 16 different units
to provide detailed lessons, using instructor-led videos for delivering valuable knowledge in GD&T. Every engineer
needs to take this course!
