The objective of the course is to provide the trainee with an understanding of workshop / functional calibration principles of standard measuring tools. 

Prior knowledge of Standard Measuring Tools is expected.

Note! Should this not be the case it is recommended that attendance on the one day Fundamentals of Dimensional Metrology Training Course is carried out prior to attendance on this course. 

This course is comprised of the following elements…

• Introduction to Calibration
