Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) Training Course

Stop the guesswork. Start building with precision. Eliminate design ambiguity and costly manufacturing errors by mastering the global language of ASME Y14.5-2018.

*This course is HRD Corp (HRDC / HRDF) claimable.

Course Overview

Prerequisite

Basic ability to read engineering drawings, including symbols, dimensions, and common blueprint conventions.

Duration

Length: 2 Days
Time: 9:00 am to 5:00 pm

Location

Level 7, Austin 18, Jalan Austin Perdana 3, Taman Austin Perdana, 81100 Johor Bahru, Johor Darul Ta'zim

Why GD&T is a high ROI skill for engineers

Engineering drawings are only useful when everyone reads them the same way. GD&T helps teams specify functional requirements with standardized symbols and rules, reducing misinterpretation and tolerance accumulation. It creates a common language between design, production, and quality teams, so problems are prevented earlier instead of fixed later.

What this helps you reduce

  • Drawing interpretation disputes and back and forth clarification

  • Costly rework caused by unclear tolerances

  • Inspection confusion and inconsistent measurement methods

  • Stack up issues that only appear during assembly

What this helps you improve

  • Clearer design intent communication

  • Better manufacturability decisions

  • Faster inspection alignment

  • Stronger product quality consistency
