Standard Training Courses

Our standard scheduled courses are held in high quality, convenient and accessible venues. Training courses include detailed course manuals and a CD of all of the presentation materials. In addition, the detailed manuals are available to purchase separately – contact us for further information.

Courses are defined at 3 levels:  

Basic - Designed to give the student with little or no experience an overview of current systems.  

Foundation - Provides a working level knowledge of the specific TDL. Students will receive both technical and operational information. Suitable for those who have attended the basic level instruction or already have a similar knowledge level.  

Advanced - Detailed information of a specific area of the subject TDL. It is strongly recommended that students have either attended the appropriate foundation level course, or have a similar level of operational/technical experience.
