September 10-11 2025 Chicago IL Area “Hands-On” ISO Precision Gage Calibration & Repair Training

Calibration & Repair Workshop.

This is an in-person, public, 2-day, “Hands-On” Precision Gage Calibration and Repair Training.

IICT is your #1 source to meet your calibration training requirements for:

• ISO 9000
• ISO 13485
• AS 9000, and
• IATF 16949 Certification.

Certificates are presented immediately upon successful completion of the course.

Join me for a 2-Day “Hands-On” Precision Gage Calibration & Repair Workshop. This training will last 14-16 hours and will cover the following goals and topics:

This 2-day online precision gage and repair training offers specialized training in calibration and repair for the individual who has some knowledge of basic Metrology. Approximately 75% of the workshop involves “Hands-on” calibration, repair, and adjustments of micrometers, calipers, indicators, height gages, etc. The course covers NIST Traceability, Certificates of Conformance, Gage Management, Standards, etc.

Each student is encouraged to participate in actual calibrations and repairs. A list of gages used in the class is available from Carlis at iict@msn.com.

Goal

• Equip attendees with the knowledge to meet current and future calibration needs
• Leave this class prepared to save your company money on calibrations
• Provide attendees opportunities for personal growth in the Quality Field
