Overview

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. Full course details are available: www.aukom.info/en/aukom-training-courses/training-content/content-level-1.html

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.

 

Course Delivery

This course will run on campus at MTU Bishopstown on Wednesday evenings from 6.30pm – 9.30pm for 10 weeks.

The programme is largely classroom-based but will involve practical demonstrations of Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) equipment and software.

What is RPL?

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is when formal recognition is given for what you already know prior to starting on a programme or module. With recognition of prior learning the focus is on learning and not on experience as such. You can apply for RPL in any MTU accredited programme or module. Programmes which are accredited by professional bodies or any external awarding bodies may have their own procedures for RPL which you should refer to.
