GDTP (Y14.5) - Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing Professional Certification
Advance your career with two professional certifications to demonstrate your GD&T proficiency!
ASME's GDTP (Y14.5) Professional Certification Program provides a means to demonstrate proficiency in the understanding and application of the geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) principles expressed in ASME’s widely-applied Y14.5 Standard. Those principles form an essential element of the design language for mechanical engineering.
Two levels of GDTP certification for each Y14.5 standard:
The GDTP – 1994 Technologist level - measures an individual’s ability to understand (“read”) drawings that have been prepared using the language of GD&T, as defined in the Y14.5M – 1994 Standard.
The GDTP – 1994 Senior level - measures an individual’s ability to select and apply (“write”) geometric controls to drawings as defined in the Y14.5M – 1994 Standard.
The GDTP – 2009 Technologist level - measures an individual’s ability to understand (“read”) drawings that have been prepared using the language of GD&T as defined in the Y14.5–2009 Standard.
The GDTP – 2009 Senior level - measures an individual’s ability to select and apply (“write”) geometric controls to drawings as defined in the Y14.5 – 2009 Standard.
