Technical Levels

Level 1 Courses

Level 1 courses are specially

developed and presented in a style

designed to be easily understood by

those without a technical background.

Key characteristics, uses, trends and

issues relating to technical topics are

examined in a concise, interactive and

well-explained way. These courses

assume no prior knowledge of the

subject matter.

Level 2 Courses

Level 2 courses contain technicalmaterial that is suitable forengineering staff. Some will find thatthese courses completely satisfy theirrequirements, while for others they willbe an ideal introduction to morespecialized content. These coursesalso provide semi-technical staff witha deeper appreciation of technologyissues, and, although they assume noprior knowledge of the subject matter,they do require the ability to grasptechnical concepts.

Level 3 Courses

Level 3 courses have been developed

for engineering staff who require

detailed knowledge of a specialist

area of technology. These courses

assume some underlying knowledge

of the broader, related topic areas on

which the detailed content is built, as

well as general engineering skills and

knowledge appropriate to the course

topic.

Flexicourse™

Flexicourse™ is a process whereby,typically, Level 3 courses areshortened and customized to meet acustomer’s specific trainingrequirement. The FlexicourseTMprocess is a cost- and time-effectiveway of meeting a customer’s exactneeds for a given group of delegatesquickly and within budget.
