ETI public workshops are more in depth than most public seminars, and much more than simply lectures. Each workshop provides hands-on training that includes practice exercises to help reinforce concepts. 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

And be sure to stay an extra day, because the following day we’re offering our one-day Introduction to Statistical Tolerance Stacks workshop.

There are only a few seats left, so don’t delay! Call 1-800-886-0909 or use our online registration form, today.

Course Agenda and Highlights

Online training is a convenient and affordable way to learn GD&T. Our courses include:

All courses come with 30-, 60-, or 90-day options. Register during March to receive an additional 30 days for free.

No other discounts apply.

If you have a basic understanding of mechanical drawings, we’ll 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 requirements, tolerance zones, and limitations. Read more about the course.

Workshop will be held in ETI’s classroom in Westland, Michigan, 8 miles from the Detroit Metropolitan Airport.
See a map/driving directions.

Are you ASME Senior Level certified?

If so, please contact ETI using this form.

In 1985, Alex Krulikowski began a small start up company that provided training and consulting in a little-known discipline called geometric dimensioning and tolerancing. Twenty-five years later, Effective Training Inc. has evolved into a corporation that provides GD&T training, products and services to organizations across the globe.

Alex and ETI would like to thank our clients for supporting us for the past 25 years. We look forward to providing you with GD&T products and services in the future. Please take advantage of our gift to you: 25% off selected products and services.

Read about ETI’s history.

The new ASME standard contains numerous changes that affect the specification and interpretation of geometric tolerancing. This course covers over sixty significant revisions, additions to, and deletions from the new standard. You’ll learn how the subject matter has been reorganized, and about new sections that have been created for profile, orientation, and form.

This online course can be purchased for 30, 60, or 90 day access.

For the month of June, we’re offering 20% off. Regular pricing starts at only $99 price for 30 days of course access. Register before June 30, 2010, to take advantage of this great offer.

Fundamentals of GD&T Web-Based Training

This fully interactive course in geometric dimensioning and tolerancing fundamentals contains 28 lessons that explain the symbols, modifiers, rules, and concepts of GD&T, based on ASME Y14.5M-1994. The course is recommended for all individuals who create or interpret engineering drawings. Topics include:

A few years ago, I decided to put together some type of graphic that would organize and illustrate the many levels of workshops that ETI offers. It needed to include the prerequisites for each course and some way to easily visualize the entire  GD&T training hierarchy. The GD&T Training Pyramid was the result. (Click on the graphic above to access a larger view.)

The pyramid allows you to see all the training levels, as well as the basic courses – or the foundation – upon which your GD&T education should build. We often find that students attempt to master a higher level course without fully understanding the basics. For example, if you don’t completely understand the requirements of engineering drawings, you won’t be ready to learn GD&T fundamentals.

The pyramid also incorporates the valuable concept of mentoring employees. Once a workshop is over, mentoring allows employees to utilize their newly attained GD&T knowledge to its full potential on the job. The gray areas in the pyramid signify those areas where I advise that the mentoring be implemented.

In these tough economic times, companies often cut training budgets first, but allowing ETI to assist them in incorporating a mentoring program into the workplace can often mean valuable dollars are saved through the best use of manpower and materials.

In future blogs, I’ll go into more detail about each of the pyramid’s levels. If you’d like your own copy of the GD&T Training Pyramid, click here.
