The GMET Global Training program is scheduled to offer Combined Training – eight weeks online instructor led self-study plus a two-day in-class training. However, in order to meet the specific needs of companies, it can also be conducted as Online Instructor Led Self-Study only program.

Under this circumstance, trainees will access the GMET Training Online Management System for eight weeks. This system includes: syllabus, calendar, lecture notes, reading materials, assignments, course forum, and course library, and the chief instructor’s presentations. Each week, there is a pre-structured learning package for trainees to read, excise, and discuss. Therefore, trainees know exactly what achievements they need to accomplish, and what course materials they need to cover for the week. For all the assignments, there are answer sheets attached. Trainees are advised to complete the assignments by themselves first, and then check with answer sheet for standard answers. If trainees have problems concerning the course materials, they can ask questions by posting them onto the Session Forum. All trainees of the same class are encouraged to offer opinion or answers to the questions. The instructor of the course will also offer guidance to the discussion and lead the self-study.

Apart from the pre-structured learning package, trainees can also access:

• Course Library – a component of the GMET Training Online Management System through which trainees can access: research papers, science reports, information on related books and journals, ASME Digital Store, related international conferences and academic activities, newspaper clippings, and trainees’ model papers.
• Course Forum – a component of the GMET Training Online Management System through which trainees can view the Online Self-study Forum conducted by the Chief Instructor of the course. It may also contain the selected exemplary discussions from the Session Forum conducted by instructors of the course worldwide.

Based on the training provider, the Structured Self-Study can be classified in following two forms:

• Conducted by ASME – trainees log onto the GMET Training Online Management System at ASME’s website, and access all the features mentioned above; both Course Forum and Session Forum are led by the Chief Instructor of the course; and
• Conducted by Company – trainees log onto the GMET Training Online Management System through authorized education provider, access all the features mentioned above except that the Session Forum is led the an instructor other than the Chief Instructor of the course.

Trainees can choose to take one, two, or all the three courses at a time. A course completion certificate will be issued to any one who takes the instructor led online self-study with ASME. The Continuing Education Institute (CEI) of ASME will award GMET program completion certificate to those who have taken all three courses within two years. The issuance of program or course completion certificate to those who take the course at the company shall be determined by the relevant terms and conditions in the license agreement.
