Tec-Ease, Inc. does GD&T
and other industrial coaching worldwide. We take great pride in our ability to give you superior training with expert coaches at a competitive price. You will find that our staff is friendly and helpful and will work with you to ensure that your needs are being met. We do what it takes to get the job done. When you are comparing us to other companies, you might want to ask them the following:
1) How flexible is the scheduling?
Tec-Ease has a number of trainers available. This allows us to provide training to you when you need it, not months after you make the request. We also will work to your schedule on starting and ending times as well as session times. We will work with your organization to ensure we meet both your content
needs and time constraints. Our flexible and innovative scheduling often allows our customers to complete their training needs without severe interruptions to production.
2) How educationally sound is your program?
Tec-Ease has done its homework in this area. We ensure that the students are being engaged in effective learning by using techniques that require the use of both right and left-brain. The use of humor and activities allow the students to
participate and laugh while learning and retaining what some may consider a dry subject. Process checks are used during the training to make certain the learning process is meeting everyone's needs. It is our belief that through these checks we can correct any issues immediately rather than wait for the results of the course evaluation sheets at the end of the training.
3) Do you offer pre and post testing?
Upon request, Tec-Ease is happy to provide pre and post testing. We also provide a free on-line test to help with self-assessment. It allows people to assess their own understanding of the subject. In addition, for a nominal fee, we set up more extensive on-line testing. Many companies use this as a way to internally certify their employees.
4) Will you customize the training?
Tec-Ease, Inc. will not only incorporate your prints into the training, we will also answer your questions, not just discuss the symbology. You will be guided on how to capture design intent while meeting quality, cost and delivery requirements. We welcome discussions about your parts as we feel it is a good way to "bring home" certain points. If you would like to speak with your coach prior to the training, we would like to speak with you. This ensures that any specific questions you may have are covered during the course.

5) Do you provide customer service?
Tec-Ease, Inc. prides itself in outstanding customer service. We work very hard to ensure that our customers' needs are met in a timely and professional manner. We care about our customers and want to ensure their success. That is why from the first time you pick up the phone and talk to us you will be greeted by a friendly professional interested in your training needs. We will work with you prior to the training to ensure we have customized the training to meet your needs. We will carry that into the training with in-process checks and time for discussions. This service will continue after the training by encouraging you to call us with your quick questions. We are passionate about this subject and want to make sure that your company is using it correctly to make sure you are reaping the benefits of this powerful tool.
6) What types of reference tools will we have after the training?
As part of the course, each participant will be provided a
GD&T pocket
guide. This guide can be used to look up many different aspects of GD&T. In addition, in the first training session we will provide your company with a copy of
Standard-Ease, an electronic version of the standard. Your best resource for Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing can be Tec-Ease. We encourage you to contact us with quick questions after the training. When our customers look good, we look good.

7) Do you offer multiple levels of training?
Tec-Ease, Inc. offers an array of training courses from the
Fundamentals of GD&T to
Applications to
Tolerance
Stack-Ups. We are also one of the few companies that have a
Functional Gaging and Inspection course and a Funda-Gaging course, which is a combination of the Fundamentals and Inspection courses geared more for the machinists and inspectors. In addition, we offer several other related courses. Any of these courses can be customized to make sure they will meet your needs.
8) If I have one trainer for the Fundamentals class and another trainer for the Applications or Tolerance Stack-Ups class, will there be gaps in the training?
All of our coaches use the same materials. This ensures that they cover the same topics. However, our trainers are not held to a strict schedule or outline. This allows the trainers time to explore topics in greater detail with you, should the need arise. It also ensures the opportunity for the trainers to explain topics in several different ways if the participants are having difficulty with a concept.
9) How competitive is your pricing?
You will find that Tec-Ease is extremely competitive on pricing. We continually benchmark our training against the other leading training companies. In addition to being extremely competitive, we do not tack on additional charges the way many of our competitors do. When we give you a quote, it includes pre and post tests, if requested. Customization, discussions with the instructor prior to the session and follow up questions via phone, fax or email after the training are always included. Plus, for first time customers, a copy of Standard-Ease, an electronic version of the ASME Y14.5M-1994 standard will be provided.
10) How much experience do your trainers have?
Our trainers have extensive industrial experience ranging from sump pumps to cell phones and satellites. Each of our trainers has over 15 years of experience applying GD&T standards.

11) What is your track record?
Tec-Ease has provided training all over the world and enjoys working with both small and large companies. We work very hard to provide different types of workshops including public workshops all over the country to ensure even companies with only one person in need of training have an affordable way to get trained. Our customers continue to come back to Tec-Ease, Inc. for more training and design previews.
12) Are your trainers familiar with the Standard?
All of our coaches are members of national standards committees that write the standards you use. They are all Senior Level GD&T Professionals, certified by the
ASME.
