Geometrical Tolerancing courses enter the NPL Training Framework

Two of our Geometrical Tolerancing courses are now available as accredited training courses through the National Physical Laboratory Training Framework.
  • Geometrical Tolerancing to BS 8888 and ISO Standards.
  • Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing to ASME Y14.5.
We are running the first of these as an open 3 day course at the National Physical Laboratory on 25th, 26th and 27th May.

 
As far as I know, this is the first time that accredited Geometrical Tolerancing courses have been available in the UK. The courses are accredited by the National Physical Laboratory and validated by The National Skills Academy for Manufacturing.  Delegates who successfully complete the course receive a numbered certificate, registered with NPL Training, which also carries the National Skills Academy logo.
The same courses are also still available from us in non-accredited form (which means that they cost less).  I have no idea yet how much interest there will be in accredited training in these subjects, but the response to the public course we are running at NPL later this month has been very good, and the course is almost full.

 
Email me if you want further details about these courses, or know anyone else who might be interested.
