Video Based Training
Working with the Association for Manufacturing Technology in McLean Virginia, Workplace Training is pleased to offer Video Training Courseware on SI Metric.
The course is based on E380, ISO and ANSI standards and is aimed at engineers, techs, operators, new hires, professors and students of engineering, technology and science at pre and post secondary levels. As the international standard of measurement, the metric system is one key to success in the global market.

In today's workplace, if you're not metric literate, you're not literate. Accompanying the seven CBT modules are workbook lessons with pre and post tests, vocabulary and note taking outlines. Overheads and a facilitators guide complete the course. Trial evaluations are available upon request.

Benefits of Metric
• Ensures accurate technical communication between    departments
• Ensures acceptance of products produced for the global    marketplace
• Metric is an essential first step in a true world class    quality program
• Ensures compliance with all specs for material and    services provided by the Federal Government
• Increases efficiencies in all phases of manufacturing
   Interchangeable parts make servicing easy
