In Person Training Options
"Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn." - Benjamin Franklin
Years spent training, coaching, and mentoring have honed the skills needed to effectively communicate material in a manner that lasts. A varied experiential background means we can train you and your team in a multi-disciplinary manner that brings three dimensional training solutions to your three dimensional world.
Basic Optical Emission Spectroscopy
A two day training course with time split between presentation style training on the foundational concepts of OES analysis and hands-on instruction of system/software functionality, sample preparation, and basic maintenance tasks
Advanced Optical Emission Spectroscopy
A two day training course discussing more advanced topics such as method creation, calibration, and detailed maintenance tasks for your Optical Emission Spectrometer
Inclusion Analysis
A two day training course discussing the method OES incorporates to calculate inclusion population data from spark analysis results, the other various techniques used for inclusion analysis, how to train your spectrometer to report reasonable inclusion results, and the best ways to incorporate this valuable tool into your inclusion analysis process
Custom SQL Training
Automated uploads of data from analytical equipment to existing SQL Databases, upgrading from spreadsheet based data tracking to SQL tables, automated reporting using SQL queries, spreadsheet macros/scripts, VB.net webpages bringing data to operation's fingertips....the possibilities are essentially endless. We've used SQL throughout our career, and we can teach you how to leverage this tool as well.
Custom OES Training
All of our OES customers have different needs, experience levels, and expectations for training. If the standard courses described do not fit, please reach out and we can create a training course tailor made for your team
Custom Excel Training
Excel is ubiquitous, remarkably useful, incredibly versatile, and often frustrating. We can help you harness this software tool using built in features, simple macros, custom functions, and Visual Basic for Applications code.
Remote OES Training
Remote training is a poor substitute for in-person training, it is extremely effective as a complement to traditional face-to-face training. We provide training sessions in 2 hour increments consisting of presentations, live demonstrations on customer instruments, simulated training on our software, and open discussion. Video & audio recordings of each training session will be made available for future reference.
Remote OES Support
There are times when analytical equipment just doesn't want to cooperate, and delays in a production environment are simply unacceptable. These truisms make remote support quite attractive for correcting software and application issues in OES analysis. Reach out if you feel like a remote support relationship can benefit your team.
