Geometrical Dimensioning & Tolerancing to BS 8888 and ISO Standards: Level 1

Course description

This three-day course is intended for anyone who needs to understand the theory and practice of geometrical dimensioning and tolerancing. Delegates should be familiar with the conventions of engineering drawing, such as projections, cross sections, representations of features such as screw threads, dimensions and ± or limit tolerances. The course goes back to first principles, so no prior knowledge of geometrical tolerancing is required.

Note: This course is available for ASME Y14.5 or BS 8888 and ISO standards.

Participation:

To join the sessions you will need a device with internet access, a webcam, speakers and microphone. Most laptops and tablets are suitably equipped for this. Desktop PCs may require a plug-in webcam, microphone and speakers (or headset). If necessary, it is possible to connect through a PC for the video and use a telephone for audio, but this does not always work so well.

You will also need a calculator for one of the workbook exercises, with a square root and x² function; any scientific calculator, smartphone calculator app, or even the windows calculator can be used for this.

Delivery:

The course will be delivered as four live sessions each day, each lasting around 1¾ hours, on three consecutive days. The sessions will be delivered on the Zoom video conferencing system, which is easy to use. Instructions on how to join the sessions with Zoom will be provided.

Course schedule:

Each day will typically consist of four sessions as follows:

• 08:30 – 10:15
• 10:30 – 12:15
• 12:45 – 14:30
• 14:45 – 16:30

Registration:

If you wish to register, click on the ‘Book’ button under the dates section of this page, download and complete the form. The completed from will need to be emailed or sent by post. We will need your full postal address in order to send out course notes in advance, and an email address to send the Zoom invitations to.

Who is it for?

Designers, manufacturing engineers and technicians, quality control and inspection staff. Delegates should be familiar with the conventions of engineering drawing, such as projections, cross sections, representations of features such as screw threads, dimensions and ± or limit tolerances.
