An intensive two-day course in Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing, which follows on from, and builds upon, the Level 1 course.

  • Learn how to define more advanced datum structures.

  • Find out how to use the Least Material Condition modifier.

  • Discover how to use the Maximum Material Condition modifier with datum references (datum shift).

The course covers some of the more advanced concepts of Geometrical Dimensioning & Tolerancing and its application and interpretation.

It is suitable for anyone who has completed the Level 1 course.

Duration

2 days (available for classroom or on-line delivery).

Who is it for?

Mechanical, production and design engineers, drawing office and inspection personnel.

Delegates are required to have completed the Level 1 course.
