Approach

The course is made up from a number of fundamental topics needed by all roles, with a mixture of optional hardware and software based topics according to your teams needs. The course uses on demand training videos blended with live instructor led sessions delivered virtually via Zoom.

Learning activities such as interactive workbooks, walkthrough examples and quizzes are also incorporated into the training to help bring the learning to life. A pre course call with the engineer delivering the training is also included to ensure we meet your specific teams training needs.
