Skills That Pay Off

Boost your impact on the production floor with skills that strengthen accuracy, consistency, and confidence. The Quality Certificate program gives participants hands-on experience with blueprint reading, precision measurement, machining fundamentals, problem solving, GD&T, and computer skills used daily in modern manufacturing. From understanding tolerances to identifying root causes to working with advanced gauges and CMM basics, this program builds the technical foundation needed to support quality, improve processes, and help your organization deliver products that meet or exceed customer expectations.

This course provides the understanding and interpretation of a variety of mechanical and electrical blueprints. Emphasis is placed on reading and interpreting blueprints found in a manufacturing environment. Student will gain the ability to recognize and identify symbols and specifications common to modern industrial blueprints. Topics include: lines and symbols, views, material, form and position, title blocks, sketching, features, and sections.

Prerequisite: Industrial Blueprint Reading

This course covers use of calipers, micrometers, English and metric gauges and other measuring instruments within a manufacturing environment. Topics include: English vs. metric, calibration of instruments, importance of repeatability, hands-on measurement of piece work, and instrument inspection and care.

Prerequisite: Basic Gauges & Measurement

A basic course in machining theory and an introduction to the use of common tools and techniques in manufacturing. Topics introduced include: turning, boring, drilling, milling, grinding, use of hand tools, machine setup, preventative maintenance, efficient operation of tools, and use of the Machinery Handbook.

This class introduces participants to the problem solving basics and G8-D reporting methods. It covers the reasons for gathering data when you need to analyze a problem and introduces students to some of the basic tools of problem solving and how these tools are used. Tools covered include: cause & effect (fishbone) diagrams, SPC control charts, 5-why methods, brainstorming and scatter diagrams.

This class provides students with hands-on experience in the basics of computer concepts ranging from Windows 7 to Microsoft Office, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook.

Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing covers the fundamentals of GD&T concepts, and teaches how to read and interpret prints with GD&T symbols. Content is based upon ANSI/ASME Y 14.5M-2009 standards.

This course will cover Advanced Gauges and CMM basics.
