GD&T Training
Build a strong foundation in GD&T and ASME Y14.5 to improve product definition, reduce misinterpretation, and drive better outcomes across engineering, manufacturing, and inspection.
Overview
We offer unrivaled training based on years of experience and a deep understanding of GD&T, how it is used vs how it should be used, and clarifying aspects of GD&T that are often misunderstood. Our training is structured to provide individuals, company staff, companies, OEMs, suppliers, and government agencies understand the technical aspects of GD&T with an unrivaled level of understanding. Our focus is primarily practical and useful. We will help you navigate the nuances and layers of GD&T. We will help you obtain a deep level of understanding so you can use GD&T to provide value for your organization, clients, and supply chain.
Today, with the advent of AI slop and social media noise about everything, including GD&T, and thus from people and sources who don’t really understand GD&T, we provide an alternative – real GD&T training by real experts with a lot of real world experience. There are a lot of people claiming to know and teach about GD&T. A lot of noise. We offer real proven leadership.
Bryan Fischer has trained thousands of people in GD&T, he has worked with companies many industries, and he has written many books about ASME GD&T, ISO GPS, tolerancing, tolerance analysis, and Model-Based Enterprise (MBE), and he continues to develop new content and provide new and enhanced insight into these topics.
In addition to our unrivaled technical depth and years of industrial experience, our training provides a practical understanding of GD&T principles and their real-world application. Participants learn how to interpret, apply, and communicate GD&T effectively across engineering, manufacturing, and inspection environments.
The focus is on building clarity and consistency in product definition, helping teams reduce errors, improve communication, and ensure alignment across internal teams and external suppliers.
Our training is based on an unrivaled understanding of ASME GD&T, ISO GPS, tolerance analysis and Product Geometry Management principles. Our training is based on real-world experience and connects traditional drawing-based methods with modern product definition practices.

Frequently Asked Questions
GD&T Training
We provide technically accurate and relevant information tailored to your business needs, you situation, your level of understanding, and your challenges. We provide GD&T, GPS, and tolerance analysis training and consulting that are optimized to help you solve the problems your company faces.
We want to help our clients, not just check off a training box. We focus on why GD&T is needed, what happens if GD&T is not used, how GD&T resolves conflicts between clients and suppliers, how using tolerance analysis and GD&T ensure parts fit together, assemble, and align properly, which aspects of GD&T are often misunderstood, and helping people overcome these challenges.
In-person (synchronous) GD&T training is a better way to learn GD&T and ISO GPS. Students are more engaged and more likely to commit to learning GD&T. Learning GD&T in an instructor-led format allows the trainer to answer questions asked in class and to tailor content and delivery to suit the needs of the group and their circumstances. Online training is less effective for learners, but it provides enhanced flexibility for delivery and review.
GD&T is a complex subject. We have been developing materials and teaching people for more than 25 years. We have learned how to help people learn GD&T, so they retain and benefit from the training. We know what works and what doesn’t. We have seen what other trainers teach, what people are taught, what they forget, and never really quite understood, and how these shortcomings affect their business. We teach GD&T as simply as possible, but no simpler. Where others reduce GD&T to oversimplified slogans and cartoons, we provide rigorous training that is easy to understand and builds to a logical overall understanding of GD&T.
We have worked with and trained people at many companies in many industries. When it comes to GD&T and tolerance analysis, we have seen it all: GD&T used right, GD&T used incorrectly and incompletely, and where GD&T isn’t used at all. We have helped companies improve their products, their specifications, their processes, and their client/supplier relationships. We have helped companies win disputes involving more than $1 million. You need to truly understand your specifications, what they mean, what they don’t mean, which requirements they impose upon your products, and whether manufactured products meet those requirements. We present frank and useful assessments of our client’s drawings, models, design, manufacturing, inspection, and assembly methods, and the internal and external risks they cause.
In addition to the technical aspects of GD&T, ISO GPS, and MBE, TDP360 focuses on obtaining business value from GD&T, ISO GPS, and MBE. Bryan R. Fischer is a leading GD&T expert and trainer. Bryan has written many GD&T, tolerance analysis, and MBE books. TDP360’s training courses provide unparalleled insight into GD&T, ISO GPS, and MBE.
