GEOMETRIC DIMENSIONING & TOLERANCING (42 HOURS)

This course is one of five modules stackable for the Graduate Diploma in Precision Engineering, specialising in Mechatronics.

This course aims to provide students with fundamental knowledge and practical skills on the subject of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T). The course is conducted in an interactive way with case studies and hands-on experiments.

GD&T is a graphic language used by mechanical designers, engineers, and quality inspection operators to effectively and accurately communicate with one another through detailed drawings. It defines the geometry of mechanical parts without any ambiguities through symbols for geometric dimensions, tolerances and relative positions among features and datums. With GD&T defined drawings, desired forms and fits can be realised. This ensures the intended function of the parts and assemblies.

Why This Course

GD&T is a powerful communication tool used in the precision engineering industry. These days, more companies are required to generate drawings that are dimensioned and toleranced with GD&T. This course is conducted by instructors with strong industrial experience in using GD&T. It also includes case studies discussions and intensive hands-on sessions to enhance the participants’ GD&T understanding.

Who Should Attend

This course is recommended for

Mechanical designers and engineers
Quality manufacturing inspection operators, engineers and managers
Those interested in understanding and applying engineering drawings

Please note that fees and funding amount are subject to change.

Long Term Visit Pass Plus (LTVP+) Holders

The LTVP+ scheme applies to lawful foreign spouses of Singapore Citizens with (i) at least one Singapore Citizen child or are expecting one from the marriage, or at least three years of marriage, and (ii) where the Singapore Citizen sponsor is able to support the family.

All LTVP+ holders can be identified with their green visit pass cards, with the word ‘PLUS’ printed on the back of the card.

¹ Under the Enhanced Training Support for Small & Medium Enterprises (SMEs) scheme (ETSS), subject to eligibility criteria shown below.

SMEs that meet all of the following eligibility criteria:

Registered or incorporated in Singapore
Employment size of not more than 200 or with annual sales turnover of not more than $100 million

SME-sponsored Trainees:

Must be Singapore Citizens or Singapore Permanent Residents.
Courses have to be fully paid for by the employer.
Trainee is not a full-time national serviceman.

Further Info: This scheme is intended for all organisations, including non-business entities not registered with ACRA e.g. VWOs, societies, etc. Only ministries, statutory boards, and other government agencies are not eligible under Enhanced Training Support for SMEs Scheme. Sole proprietorships which meet all of the above criteria are also eligible.

² Under the SkillsFuture Mid-Career Enhanced Subsidy (MCES) for employer-sponsored and self-sponsored Singapore Citizens aged 40 years old and above.

Singaporeans aged 25 years old and above are eligible for SkillsFuture Credit which can be used to offset course fees (for self-sponsored registrations only).

SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit (SFEC)

The SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit (SFEC) was first introduced during the Singapore’s Budget 2020 and then recently expanded to a larger group of employers in Budget 2022. It encourages employers to invest in enterprise transformation and capabilities of their employees. Eligible employers will receive a one-off S$10,000 credit to cover up to 90% of out-of-pocket expenses on qualifying costs for supportable initiatives, over and above the support levels of existing schemes.

Submission of SFEC Claim

Employers are required to submit their SFEC claims manually via its microsite if they fulfil any of the following scenarios:

Employers have sent their foreign employees (excluding foreign employees who hold Long-Term Visit Pass Plus) for training on a SFEC-eligible course;

Employers have sent their Singapore employees for courses conducted by SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG)’s appointed CET Centres and they are not eligible for additional enhanced course subsidy, such as Mid-Career Enhanced Subsidy (MCES) and/or Enhanced Training Support for SMEs scheme (ETSS);

Employers have sent their Permanent Resident employees and/or employees who are Long-Term Visit Pass Plus (LTVP+) Holders to attend courses conducted by SSG’s appointed CET Centres and they are not eligible for the Enhanced Training Support for SMEs scheme (ETSS).

Employers can only submit the claims for SFEC after their employees have completed the training course(s). Click here to download the SFEC Claim e-guide.
NOTE: You will require a Corppass account with "EPJS_User" role assigned prior to login to your account to manage your claims.

If you are unsure whether your company is eligible for SFEC, you may submit an enquiry to Enterprise Singapore (ESG) via here for their response.
