Mechanical Maintenance Training -  Blueprint Reading

Mechanical Print Reading

Course Length: 8 Hours (Typical)

This workshop will introduce the skills required for individuals to read and interpret various types of mechanical prints used in the facility.  Participants will learn about basic print reading symbols, legends, types of prints and interpreting tolerances.  

What separates this course for all the others?   

To provide training with real effectiveness, APS training specialists will incorporate actual product prints from your company's processes into the course materials. Your actual prints will be used throughout the workshop including interactive exercises.
