About the Course:

The Precision Parts Inspection microcredential introduces manufacturing associates to the essential measurement tools, inspection techniques, and quality verification processes used in modern manufacturing environments. Learners will perform dimensional inspections using industry-standard precision instruments, including Vernier calipers, micrometers, height gauges, and depth gauges, to verify that manufactured components meet engineering specifications and quality standards. 

Within an immersive virtual manufacturing environment, participants will inspect gears, hollow pipes, and machined metal blocks by measuring critical dimensions such as height, diameter, thickness, and depth. The course emphasizes proper instrument handling, zero calibration, accurate measurement techniques, and interpreting measurement results to support consistent product quality and reduce manufacturing defects. 

Through interactive VR-based learning, participants will develop the confidence to perform dimensional inspections, select the appropriate measuring instrument for specific applications, and contribute to quality assurance processes. By strengthening precision measurement skills and inspection accuracy, this microcredential prepares learners to support efficient manufacturing operations while maintaining product quality and compliance with industry standards. 

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify common precision measuring instruments used in manufacturing quality inspection  
  • Select the appropriate measuring tool based on the feature being inspected  
  • Perform accurate dimensional measurements using Vernier calipers, micrometers, height gauges, and depth gauges    
  • Properly zero and calibrate measuring instruments before use  
  • Inspect gears, pipes, and machined components for dimensional accuracy   
  • Verify component dimensions against quality requirements and manufacturing specifications  
  • Understand the role of dimensional inspection in maintaining product quality and reducing defects

Course delivered through our LMS and accessible in both VR and web. Learn on the web anytime, or enjoy immersive VR training with your own Oculus VR headset.
