Welcome to a new
generation of vibration training
We have developed a series of training
courses that will help you to become a master of vibration analysis.
Whether you are just getting started or you have been analyzing
vibration for years, you will enjoy our courses, and you will learn
more than you could imagine.
Click here to see a quick movie presentation that
describes our training courses and demonstrates a few of our
simulators.
More than just
certification
Our courses and examination procedures
follow the ISO and ASNT standards, but our courses are much more
about the benefits that you gain. You will understand
vibration; it will help you to set up your program, take better
measurements, and analyze vibration data with greater confidence.
Enjoy the Mobius "Ah,
ha!" moments
We have trained a lot of people; some
who were brand new to vibration analysis, and others who had been at it for years (and who
had attended other courses). Everyone enjoys the Mobius
"Ah, ha!" moment; the moment when it suddenly all makes
sense.
You will see our course schedule
below. We hope you will choose to attend
our course!
