gd&t classes
i am trying to find classes on gd&t y14.4 1994 in the northeast.i have no problem finding classes in the midwest but not ny, ct, nh etc. can anybody suggest training centers in this area?
check out our whitepaper library.
i've used al neumann's material at an onsite training class.  also, you might want to look at any local universities that offer professional training.
i am going to make some suggestions on training in gd & t since i have a fair amount of experience there.
make sure that the trainer is a certified gd & t professional through asme so at least the information received comes from a a good source. i would not say that all the people training in  universities are certified.
this may sound strange but the certfication process has to do with the standard and the standard does not get into how the symbols are measured on the shop floor. the asme standard may say that that flatness of 0.25 mm, as an example, would be two (2) parallel planes with a thickness no greater than 0.25 mm but what does that mean on the shop floor?
make sure that the trainer knows how to interpret the gd & t symbols to shop floor reality. that is important to designers as well as people who interpret the drawings.
you may have to fly to a good source of traing in the mid-west but make sure it is a good source.
hope this helps.
