Course Structure/Delivery Method

Advantage GD&T Training and Consulting workshops are based on the best GD&T training materials available. These materials are written, proofread and tested by world leading GD&T experts and exercises are designed to inspire critical thinking. My workshops bring these materials to life with demonstrations, numerous practice problems and group exercises ensuring students fully understand the fundamentals in preparation for learning the more advanced concepts that follow. To aid in retention of topics learned, homework is assigned each evening. Assignments are graded and returned for participants to review and receive feedback. Courses are offered onsite or in a live instructor led online format.

Who Should Attend?
