AUKOM is an acronym for the German phrase ausbildung koordinatenmesstechnik, which translates to “coordinate metrology training.” AUKOM was developed in Germany to establish a global training standard for production coordinate measurement practice. Its methodology is vendor-neutral, meaning the skills gained and procedures learnt during certified training are applicable to any brand of measuring equipment and software.

 

AUKOM training is currently offered in 19 countries and MTU is the only approved training centre in Ireland. Three levels of certification are available; this Level 1 programme concentrates on fundamental concepts, such as dimensional tolerancing, basic programming, and common measuring equipment.

 

Candidates will be prepared to take the AUKOM Level 1 test which will be administered by MTU personnel at the end of the programme; AUKOM certificates will be issued to those who successfully complete the programme and the test.
