What this training manual is!The training manual is provided as a reminder to each student of the important requirements that lead to the successful implementation of a measurement strategy. It provides basic examples and techniques on the functions of PC-DMIS. The manual provides evidence of competence achieved by each trainee during the training course. It includes several exercises to verify learning has taken place not only in the use of the Arm but also the knowledge and understanding gained.

What this training manual is not!It is not another version of the technical manual.

EvaluationAs we all know evaluation is very important. This manual will provide a method of evaluating each trainee’s competence and give the trainee evidence to take back for themselves and their employer of their achievements during the course. Based on the results obtained and evaluated by your training instructor, a certificate will be issued. The assessment of competence can only be judged at the time of the course. This does not mean that the trainee can be classed as an expert, it is important for the trainees to implement the techniques they have learned on their return to their respective company.

Course evaluationHexagon Manufacturing Intelligence takes pride in the services it provides and continues to strive to improve this quality service. It is important for us to get feedback about our services. As part of this process, we will kindly request that on completion of your course you complete a course evaluation form.

During each session of the course the students will be encouraged to participate in both the theoretical and practical elements. Questions and answers sessions for the above elements and any other requirements will be included as requested.
