Engineering Drawing to ASME Y14.5
What is it?
We can offer a range of training courses in
engineering drawing to ASME Y14.5.
These range from a course for complete beginners, through to refresher courses which concentrate on a revision of best practice for more experienced designers and engineers. Let us know what level of experience and knowledge your prospective delegates have, or the level of training you think you need, and we will put a proposal together for you.
Topics such as geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD & T) are covered in general terms - specific courses are available for those who need a more detailed understanding.

- Learn how to layout a drawing.
- Find out why datums are important even on simple components.
- Discover how to build up a dimension and tolerance scheme.
- these courses are also available based on BS 8888
ASME Y14.5 is used more widely than just in the USA. It is also the standard in general use in South America, Canada, and
worldwide by companies in American or Canadian ownership.
Duration
From a half-day refresher course to a five
day programme.
Who is it for?
Anyone who needs to
understand the principles and practices of developing engineering
drawings to a professional standard, and in compliance with current
standards.
