Participants of Print Reading and Engineering Drawing Format Training are introduced to the foundational aspects of reading and interpreting technical drawings. At completion of the course, the participants will be equipped to identify and understand key information included on engineering prints.
The course will be conducted in person using a combination of instructor lead presentation material, student workbook exercises, and group discussions to cover the material. If possible, students are encouraged to bring electronic drawing samples to aid in applying concepts to their particular needs.
This foundational course is recommended for those with a need to understand engineering prints: production staff (assemblers, fabricators, welders, etc) and other manufacturing roles (estimators, quality technicians, inspectors, etc), particularly those new to the manufacturing field.
Course includes a reference guide/exercise book you will receive the day of the training. A certification of attendance will be provided upon completion.
