How Most Engineering Managers Use This Guide
Most people who download this guide may not be ready to buy training today.
They're:
Comparing formats and getting aligned internally
Preparing questions for vendor calls
Building a business case for leadership
Just trying to figure out what they actually need
This guide exists to help you think clearly before you commit budget, time, or people.
Why This Guide Exists
Most engineering managers know their team needs GD&T training. The hard part is figuring out:
Which format actually fits when you have people across multiple shifts or locations
Who needs which level of training (not everyone needs Advanced GD&T)
What the real cost looks like—not just "contact us for pricing"
What each course actually covers before committing budget
This guide answers all of that. Compare all three formats with pricing, syllabi, and role recommendations—everything you need to decide.
Why GD&T Basics
We've trained thousands of engineers at companies like Siemens, Toyota, and Honeywell. Our instructors are ASME-certified with decades of field experience.
Over 10+ years, we've seen the same training mistakes play out:
Teams over-trained with advanced content, too early
Teams under-trained because baseline knowledge was never assessed
Training formats chosen without considering how work actually flows between teams
This guide helps you avoid those mistakes—whether you train with us or someone else.
