What’s New at Tooling U?
Quality Classes
What is your company doing to improve quality and reduce scrap while
you run lean? Check out the newest class in our
Quality Department: Lean Manufacturing.
And watch for the release of our class on Internal Auditing in the
coming weeks.
Intermediate Grinding Classes
We have recently added beginner classes to our new
Abrasives Department. Keep your eyes open for
more advanced grinding classes, including a new Grinding Variables class
that tackles the various forms of grinding feeds and speeds. The next class
scheduled is Grinding Wheel Materials, which will address the types of
grain materials and bonds, including superabrasives such as diamond and CBN.
Full Range of CNC and Metal Cutting Topics
Our most popular classes are the CNC and metal cutting classes. We now offer
these classes at the basic, intermediate, and advanced levels, including topics
such as milling geometry, high-speed machining, manual programming, and canned
cycles.
Tooling U en Español!
Since the launch of our first Spanish language class at IMTS 2002, we have
continued to add new translations. You now can find more than a dozen
classes translated into Spanish, including audio voice-overs. We are committed
to translating all of our classes into Spanish as we go along.
Contact us about subscribing to Spanish
language classes.
New Inspection Department
Do you want to learn the principles behind calibration? Do you need to learn
how to use a CMM? Tooling University is developing a new Inspection Department.
Our new inspection classes will cover calibration, surface measurements,
hardness testing, optical inspection, and more. On the near horizon is a new Coordinates
for the CMM class. Contact
us if you would like to receive an e-mail when Tooling U
launches the Inspection Department.
What to watch for:
Online Testing for Certifications Through NIMS
NIMS (http://www.nims-skills.org
), the National Institute for Metalworking Skills, has contracted with Tooling
U to build an online testing site for the NIMS skills certification process.
The site is going into beta testing with a few organizations around the country
in May and will be available for live online testing later in the summer.
Assessment Testing
A number of companies have told us that they are looking for
cost-effective pre-employment screening tests or knowledge assessments for
their current employees. To help these companies, we are in the process of
developing an online assessment test from our large pool of testing questions.
Stay tuned for this new assessment tool, which will be available separately
from our current training site.
