Training process

Training needs analysis

If you have specific requirements regarding the training programme, we will carry out a training needs analysis for you. This will guide us on which aspects of the programme should receive greater emphasis, so that the training programme meets your specific needs.

What will you gain?

icon

Prepare drawing sheets correctly - You will learn how to set up a technical drawing sheet properly, choose the right format, mark the scale, and use correct line types so your documentation meets formal standards.

icon

Distinguish drawing types - You will clearly tell apart freehand, workshop, and assembly drawings, making it easier to choose the right documentation form for a given project stage and technical purpose.

icon

Understand projection rules - You will grasp the basics of descriptive projection and geometric views, so you can represent spatial arrangements correctly and avoid unclear or misleading technical drawings.

icon

Present 3D objects clearly - You will learn how to show objects in space using axonometric projections and how to choose the most informative view to present shape, proportions, and important design features.

icon

Dimension drawings clearly - You will practice parallel, chain, and combined dimensioning, as well as linear and angular dimensions, so your drawing can be read unambiguously by production and inspection teams.

icon

Read technical diagrams - You will understand the differences between kinematic, hydraulic, and pneumatic diagrams, which will help you read machine documentation faster and follow relations between components.

icon

Specify surface quality - You will learn to read and apply symbols for roughness, waviness, and other surface requirements, helping you prepare drawings that match real manufacturing and quality expectations.

icon

Read drawings with confidence - After the course, you will identify points, lines, figures, and solids more quickly in technical documentation, improving your communication with designers, technologists, and makers.

10. Training summary

What are the prerequisites for participating in the training?

icon

Basic geometry - You should confidently recognize basic geometric figures, line segments, angles, and solids so you can easily follow examples related to projections and dimensioning.

icon

Reading technical documents - You should have at least basic exposure to drawings or technical diagrams so you can more easily follow the symbols, views, and relationships discussed during the course.

icon

Attention to detail - You should be ready to work precisely with symbols, lines, and dimensions, because the training requires careful distinction between details shown in technical drawings.

icon

Basic technical concepts - You should understand basic technical terms related to components, surfaces, and simple mechanical systems to make effective use of the examples presented in the course.
