An end to the chaos surrounding standards
Gaining a sustainable understanding of ISO GPS and applying it straight away
Instant access • No credit card required
For trainers who want to save time. For apprentices who want to pass their exams and navigate everyday life in the workshop with confidence. Learn with GPSlife – interactively, visually and without dry, tedious theory.
Our course content is based on the official examination guidelines for technical professions.
Developed by ISO-GPS experts in collaboration with training organisations from the German mechanical and plant engineering sector.
Hosted on servers in Germany. Training managers have full control over the class’s learning progress without any data security risks.
The reality
Why you should act now
The instructor’s frustration
Time is flying by, and the syllabus is packed. You have to explain for the tenth time why the old general tolerances (such as ISO 2768) are no longer sufficient, and what these new geometric tolerances on the drawing mean. This takes up valuable time that you need for practical work.
The trainee’s frustration
The IHK (PAL) exams are demanding more and more knowledge of ISO-GPS. However, the standard textbooks on the subject are as dry as the Sahara. The fear of making a fool of oneself in the exam because of a drawing error is growing.
One misinterpreted tolerance specification on the drawing – and the painstakingly milled workpiece goes straight into the scrap bin. This demoralises the trainee and costs the company real money.
Anyone who doesn’t master ISO GPS in theory these days will lose valuable marks in the skilled worker’s examination. There is a real risk of failing or starting off with a poor mark.
If trainees do not learn the system from the ground up, they will carry those old mistakes with them into their future permanent roles. This means endless discussions between design, production and quality assurance.
The solution
Sustainable learning with GPSlife
No hours-long lectures. The trainee learns step by step
From its origins right through to its use directly on a computer, smartphone or tablet in the workshop.
We make tolerances on interactive 3D models tangible. You can see straight away what the effect of a tolerance actually is in three-dimensional space.
Our course content provides precise preparation for the requirements of modern examinations (IHK/PAL).
A wide range of exercises with immediate feedback give you an overview of your progress – without any exam stress.
Who benefits, and how?
What’s in it for the trainer?
The basics are taught digitally. They now only provide support with specific questions.
No need to prepare your own materials – our resources are tailored precisely to the needs of trainees
Trainees understand the drawings correctly straight away, before the first chip flies.
What the trainee gets out of it
Prepare for the theory and practical tests with targeted training.
No pressure. Lessons can be repeated as often as you like.
No theoretical gibberish, just practical knowledge you can put to use straight away on the shop floor.
Tried and tested in practice
What trainers and trainees have to say
„ISO GPS was actually quite new to us during the training – thanks to the GPSlife learning materials, we were able to provide our trainees with an effective starting point straight away, enabling them to learn and practise the rules of the standards from the ground up.“
„ISO GPS was an absolute nightmare for me at vocational college – nothing but dry explanations and endless rules. With GPSlife, I click my way through the 3D models on my tablet and understand straight away what’s meant. Practising on real drawings has also helped me a lot.“
GPSlife: a comparison
GPSlife | Without GPSlife (Classic) | |
|---|---|---|
| Knowledge transfer | Learning modules tailored to the needs of trainees. | Thick books of standards and hours of lectures delivered from the front of the classroom. |
| IHK/PAL Preparation | Targeted revision with exam-style questions. | Cramming just before the exam. |
| Understanding tolerances | Interactive 3D models provide detailed, spatial explanations. | Abstract 2D representations often lead to misunderstandings. |
| Workload for trainers | Trainees learn independently; trainers monitor their progress. | Having to explain the basics over and over again eats into project time. |
| Scrap in the training workshop | Ensure you understand the symbols before cutting the first chip. | Incorrectly interpreted drawings lead to costly rejects. |
