Measuring and Marking Out E-learning Course - Only £25+VAT DOWNLOAD NOW

In your job you may have to take measurements for an engineering tasks. Taking accurate measurements before cutting, bending or making holes is essential and will differ in complexity. Getting a measurement wrong will waste time, material and money. Learn how to use vernier calipers, micrometers, steel rules and much more. Discover a range of marking out instrument and how they are used.

This Measuring & Marking Out e-learning course is a fully interactive computer program, which features over 90 screens. Unlike other e-learning providers who just supply a series of PowerPoint slides; we include audio, graphics and text. We understand that everyone has their own unique learning style. We use assessment throughout and provide feedback so you always know exactly how you are getting along.

Content

The topics which are covered in measuring and marking out include:-

Section 1: Units of Length - Are you more familiar with metric or imperial units? Know how many inches are in a foot? How many millimetres in a metre? Know the conversion between metric and imperial units? We look at all these questions and a lot more. Understanding the basics here will help you whether your using metric or imperial.
Section 2: Measuring Length - Can you accurately read off a tape measure, steel rule, calipers, vernier calipers or a micrometer? Here you will learn how to use vernier calipers, how to use a micrometer, the different types of micrometer, how to properly use tape measures, how to use a steel rule, how to use calipers and much more.
Section 3: Angles - Learn how to measure angles using a spirit level and an engineers protractor. Discover the different parts of a combination set and how to use it. These are all important skills within engineering. Our courses are interactive so you get tested throughout on the different topics; this helps you to retain the course material.
Section 4: Marking Out - The section tackles the issue of marking lines out on material. We take look a look at the vast range of instruments including; scribers, dividers, scribing blocks, odd leg calipers, engineer's square, dot punch and centre punch. You will learn what these instruments are and what they do.
Section 5: Summary - This section is a recap of what you have learned throughout the e-learning course. The breakdown is especially useful when you review the course at a later date. This e-learning course has over 90 screens and includes audio, graphics and assessment. We use different type of questions and give you feedback so you know exactly how you are doing.
