To be able to understand the requirements of calibration standards, traceability and procedures.Process Control ATo understand the fundamental principles of process control. To be able to analyse data, react to variation and communicate with others.Measurement Principles and Methods DTo understand the fundamental principles of angular measurement. To plan, search for triangles and adapt to different measurement situations.Co-ordinate Principles ATo understand fundamental co-ordinate principles in preparation for the application of co-ordinate measurement methods and equipment. To be able to identify pitfalls.Training DeliveryNPL sets the standards for metrology in the UK. The primary objective of NPL’s training courses is to encourage learners to make a difference within their workplaces. NPL training is supported by a technical committee of measurement equipment suppliers, trade associations, manufacturing organizations, trainers, educational establishments and National Skills Academies. The NPL training framework is approved by EAL, (part of SEMTA) and validated by the National Skills Academy for Manufacturing (NSA-M). The training courses are delivered nationally and internationally by NPL accredited training providers.Level 1Training is divided into four levels covering ‘Measurement Users’ through to ‘Measurement Definers’Measurement UserUses measurement knowledge and expertiseMeasurement ApplierApplies measurement knowledge and expertiseMeasurement Developer Develops and extends measurement knowledge and expertise Measurement DefinerDefines new and leading edge application of measurement knowledge Level 2 Level 3 Level 4
