GEOMETRIC DIMENSIONING & TOLERANCINGComputer-Based Training ProgramGD&T is a self-paced, computer-based training program that teaches trainees the basic principles of GD&T, how to calculatebonus tolerances, and how to read and apply geometric tolerances to ensure the proper fit of mating part features. Thisprogram is consistent with ASME Y14.5M – 1994.TARGET AUDIENCEEngineering staff; production, inspection and set-up personnel; supervisors; group leaders; and any others who need orwish to build a basic understanding of GD&T.COMPLETION TIMESApproximately six to eight hours for the full program, depending on the individual learner.
