About the Course:

This Vernier Caliper Measurement microcredential introduces manufacturing associates to the proper use of a digital Vernier caliper for performing accurate dimensional measurements on common manufacturing components. Learners will navigate an immersive virtual environment to measure the external dimensions, internal diameters, and widths of various workpieces while becoming familiar with digital caliper functions such as powering the device, zeroing the measurement, switching between inches and millimeters, and obtaining precise readings. 

Through interactive VR-based learning, participants will develop confidence in handling precision measuring instruments, selecting the correct measuring technique for different component features, and interpreting measurement results accurately. By emphasizing measurement accuracy, proper tool handling, and quality inspection practices, this microcredential prepares learners to perform dimensional inspections that support manufacturing quality standards and production efficiency.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify the main components and functions of a digital Vernier caliper
  • Demonstrate proper handling and setup of the Vernier caliper before measurement
  • Measure external dimensions using the outside measuring jaws
  • Measure internal diameters using the inside measuring jaws
  • Reset (zero) the Vernier caliper before taking measurements
  • Perform accurate dimensional measurements on different manufacturing components
  • Apply precision measurement techniques to support quality inspection and manufacturing standards

Learners can also build broader instrument-handling skills through our precision measurement tools training.

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.
