In-house GD&T, MBD and product definition training, delivered by an ASME GDTP Senior certified engineer using your own drawing packages and models rather than generic teaching examples.
Most GD&T training teaches the standard against a set of textbook parts. Delegates leave able to read a symbol and still unable to apply it to the component on their own desk.
We teach the same principles against your live definition, so the examples are the parts your team is arguing about, quoting inconsistently or failing at first article.
Training is delivered by a practising engineer rather than a career trainer. The person teaching has held design authority on safety-critical programmes and signed off first article inspection on components that came back from them, which means the sessions answer the practical question behind every rule: what happens downstream if we get this wrong.
Where a client provides a representative drawing package or MBD dataset in advance, the session is built around it under NDA.
Delegates work on their own product, the discussion stays anchored to real consequences, and the organisation retains a marked-up record of what was found.
This is the single difference between our training and the established alternatives, and it is why sessions frequently surface definition issues worth more than the cost of the day.
Delivered individually or combined into a programme. Each module maps to a capability we deliver, so the training and the engineering are taught from the same discipline.
Feature control frames, datums and datum reference frames, the geometric characteristics, and the difference between a dimension and a requirement. Taught to ASME Y14.5 or ISO GPS according to the regime you work in.
Selecting datums that reflect function and can be simulated in fixture, applying material condition modifiers correctly, and tolerancing to what the process can hold rather than to habit.
Building model-based definition to ASME Y14.41 and ISO 16792: what makes PMI semantic rather than presentational, how requirements attach to geometry, what survives STEP AP242 exchange, and how a supplier’s CAM and CMM consume the dataset. For teams moving from 2D release to MBD, or already released to MBD and finding it disputed downstream.
Whether a requirement can be measured as drawn, how a supplier and an inspector read the same callout, measurand and degrees-of-freedom review, and where AS9102 first article exposure is created at the drawing.
Where the standards genuinely diverge, what changes when a drawing crosses between regimes, and how to write definition that holds when a supply chain spans both. For organisations with legacy BS 8888 drawings, ASME customers and ISO suppliers on the same programme.
Delivered remotely or on site to a single team, scoped to the level and the definition supplied. The most common engagement.
Modules spaced across weeks so delegates apply the material to live work between sessions, with the following session built on what they found.
Design engineers, draughtspeople and engineering managers responsible for what the definition says at release
Quality engineers, inspectors and supplier quality teams who verify, dispute or defend the same definition downstream
Sessions are scoped and priced before they are booked, and nothing is charged until scope is agreed in writing. Training is delivered by an ASME GDTP Senior certified engineer; it is not an ASME-accredited course and does not confer certification on delegates.
