ASME - where to start?
ASME - where to start?
(OP)
hi, i am interested in learning ASME GD&T Standards and obtaining a certification. What is the best and most efficient way of achieving this?
Any advice from people who have attained their certification would be highly appreciated.

Never argue with an idiot. They'll bring you down to their level and beat you with experience every time.

Look around at www.asme.org to see if you can find the seminar. You may still have time to register.

Follow Tec-Ease's process and study study study. Tec-Ease uses a mentoring process that I liked better than other trainers and training materials that I've used. It's a long exam.
Good luck!

I have attached the web site that goes directly in ASME so that you might find a suitable trainer.
I think that this should help.

One other point, you need to have 5 years of experience in GD&T before you can get certified. If you haven't had any training yet, get started...it's a steep learning curve.

While I empathize that many of the questions seem inconsequential to the "real world", keep in mind that those subtleties are important and the successful completion means a combination of practical and theoretical knowledge. I've worked with and debated with a number of veteran GD&T'ers, and mostly they are correct; the differences often come in the subtleties and the extension of principles that you get from knowing the standard.

I needed the certification since I train in the subjecct so I wrote the Technologist level first, passed it and finally the Senior.
Powerhound - work on it. I went through the standard until I couldn't look at it any more and I after I wrote the exam, my brain was fried
Good Luck.

Keep at it, PowerHound. I studied my butt off for the exam for a couple months, and did a number of practice exams too. Good luck.
