The 2009 Course calendar is ready!

 

We have now published our 2009 course calendar.  Even though the economy looks gloomy, our customers have told us that this is the perfect time for training and a renewed focus on reliability.  What better way is there to improve profitability than to improve reliability? 

 

Welcome to a new generation of vibration training

We have developed a series of training courses that will help you to become a master of vibration analysis.  Whether you are just getting started or you have been analyzing vibration for years, you will enjoy our courses, and you will learn more than you could imagine.

 

Click here to see a quick movie presentation that describes our training courses and demonstrates a few of our simulators.

 

More than just certification

Our courses and examination procedures follow the ISO and ASNT standards, but our courses are much more about the benefits that you gain.  You will understand vibration; it will help you to set up your program, take better measurements, and analyze vibration data with greater confidence.

 

Enjoy the Mobius "Ah, ha!" moments

We have trained a lot of people; some who were brand new to vibration analysis, and others who had been at it for years (and who had attended other courses).  Everyone enjoys the Mobius "Ah, ha!" moment; the moment when it suddenly all makes sense. 

 

You will see our course schedule below.  We hope you will choose to attend our course!
