CMA 3000 Basic Operation

Overview:

The course for new owners who wish to familiarise themselves quickly with the basic instrument operation. The course will allow users to get up and running by putting their instrument to work in a short time. Specialized modules can be taken to match existing and future options on this highly configurable model. The course is an intense one to two day instructor led training course that focuses on getting the best from your instrument and having the means to document the results in an efficient manner.

• Hands on: learn by doing the task and not by watching. (50% of the course is hands-on)
• Critical Emphasis: fine tune points and techniques that are of particular importance to your operations. Our skilled instructors and staff can tailor the module to meet your requirements.
• Cost saving: Eliminate or significantly reduce your travel expenses because training sessions are offered in a location close to you.
• Schedule: Training sessions can be easily scheduled months in advance. Get more specific details regarding class location etc by contacting us directly on +44 (0) 1582 433275
