Description
The eLearning training course is divided in six modules:
• Module 1: Ultrasound
• Module 2: Phasing
• Module 3: Steering
• Module 4: Focusing
• Module 5: Data Quality
• Module 6: Review
Each module contains:
• Pages explaining the underlying theory.
• Videos explaining the theoretical and practical aspects of Phased-Array Ultrasound Testing,
Silverlight interactive exercises in which the student can build a set-up, practice calibration and scanning and learn to evaluate real data.
• A test section for self-evaluation
At the end of your online training phase, an online test will enable you to decide whether you are ready for the classroom element of the course, or if you need further time to study.
When you have booked your online training, you will receive an email notification with your login details. You will then have 60 days from first login to complete your eLearning course.
