Training Courses

Embecosm specializes in small group training for advanced users. All courses are customized to the specific customer, with the emphasis on hands-on development of specific skills. Courses are delivered in a number of formats:

• Classroom based seminars. This is the ideal way to introduce new technology. Courses are structured around a series of practical exercises, led by the instructor. All attendees receive a comprehensive training pack, which serves as a reference manual when the course is complete.

• Mentoring. Embecosm seconds a specialist part-time to your specific project, to guide individual engineers as they adopt a new technology. The precise format is specific to each project, but a typical arrangement involves an initial 3-5 day orientation seminar, followed by 8 hours/week of mentoring and advice partly on-site and partly by telephone/email.

• Secondment. This can be a very effective way to introduce a new technology for the first time. An Embecosm specialist is seconded full-time to your project to lead the adoption of the technology. Embecosm will ensure the project team receive all the training they need and provide support as it is needed, while contributing to the development of the project.
