Fundamentals of GD&T 2-Day Workshop
Based on ASME Y14.5M-1994
If you have a basic understanding of mechanical drawings, this workshop 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. This complete course in GD&T fundamentals is the most thorough and comprehensive training on the market. Read more.

Advanced Concepts of GD&T 2-Day Workshop
Based on ASME Y14.5M-1994
This accelerated course was developed to meet your advanced GD&T needs by building on your existing fundamental skills. You’ll learn about advanced GD&T concepts like composite tolerancing, tolerance analysis, datum selection, non-rigid part dimensioning, and many more key dimensioning topics. The course covers topics from advanced GD&T concepts to the system approach for part dimensioning. Read more.

The price of each public workshop includes materials, continental breakfast, and snacks. Most workshops also include bonus materials, like access to our online training that can be used as a resource after the training is completed. When you register for any ETI workshop, you know you’ll be receiving the most thorough GD&T training available.

After a recent fire in the building adjoining ETI’s office and classroom, the company moved to a new location. Our official new address is: 14143 Farmington Rd., Livonia, MI 48154.

We’re now located just north of the I-96 expressway, about 2 miles east of I-275. For public workshop participants, the location is convenient to the DTW airport and many area hotels.

The move was handled as smoothly and efficiently as possible, with orders going out a day after the fire. One benefit of the move is that the new location offers a much larger classroom for our public workshops, which will allow us to open up more seats at our GD&T training sessions.

For more information about onsite and public GD&T workshops, call us at 734-744-5940.

Have you been meaning to learn GD&T? Is your company getting ready to update to the 2009 tolerancing standard? Then now is the time to register for one of ETI’s 2012 public workshops. See the full schedule at our website.

Take a look at the large variety of workshops we’re offering this year. We have training based on the ASME  1994 and 2009 dimensioning and tolerancing standards, and we now offer an ISO geometrical tolerancing course, as well.
