CMMs – Coordinate Measuring Machines, are playing a growing role in modern manufacturing, engineering and design.
CMTrain is a unique CMM training programme for engineers, designers, metrology practitioners, managers – indeed anybody who needs a practical grounding in coordinate measurement.
CMTrain’s blended study approach supports online e-learning with practical, face-to-face workshops – all leading to a recognised qualification based on a Europe-wide standard.
The programme progresses from Introductory Level 1 through Expert Level 3, with formal assessments at each level. You can complete the entire programme or stop at the level of competence that meets your professional requirement – what ever is right for you.
