ETI's Live Web Format Provides Expert GD&T Training, Eliminates Travel Time and Expense

GD&T live web training is just like a classroom workshop, but it’s delivered and attended entirely over the internet.

WESTLAND, Michigan - Effective Training Inc., a leader in the field of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), now offers live web GD&T training. The innovative training format allows ETI to present a typical classroom workshop, with an instructor teaching concepts and answering questions, live over the internet.

Utilizing live web training means that companies pay for the training, not the additional administrative costs of flights, hotels, and rental cars. Live web training also allows companies located throughout the world to take advantage of ETI courses with convenient scheduling options that often aren’t feasible or affordable with traditional onsite training.

"GD&T live web training provides all the features of the traditional onsite classroom: it’s comprehensive, interactive, and allows the instructor and students the ability to give, receive, and discuss information," said course devloper and ETI president Alex Krulikowski. "It also provides advantages beyond traditional training: it’s convenient, cost-effective and allows flexible scheduling, while still offering all the benefits of face-to-face delivery. It fills the gap between classroom training and self-paced e-learning."

With live web training, any workshop can be broken into convenient training blocks within a 2-week period, and a company’s need for training can be fulfilled with less disruption to critical production schedules. Live web GD&T training is available through onsite and public workshops. More details and scheduling information are available at ETI's website.

ETI's System Approach to Component Tolerancing Course Changes the Way Engineers Think About Part Tolerancing

Students perform a design function analysis on a company part assembly, then specify GD&T on assembly components during this new hands-on workshop.

WESTLAND, Michigan - Effective Training Inc., a leader in the field of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), has created a new course that teaches the system approach to component design. The workshop examines the thought processes involved in assigning GD&T to components and can change the way many engineers think about part tolerancing.

The three-day workshop is designed for product engineers, designers, checkers, and engineering managers.

"The workshop focuses on understanding what constitutes good and poor drawing practices and the common dimensioning methods used in industry," said course designer and ETI president Alex Krulikowski. "It also teaches how to use geometric tolerancing to communicate system functions on component dimensions."

The students work in teams and actually create GD&T tolerance mark-ups of their company parts in class. The course is available through onsite and public workshops.
