For over 30 years, Sensors & Software has been a pioneer in the field of GPR equipment and its applications. We share what we have learned about GPR over the decades through the immense technical resources on our website – newsletters, case studies, webinars, etc., and via our training courses, which we have provided to the public since the 1990s. Innovative GPR equipment and training go hand-in-hand, as we educate users to make them more effective, successful GPR operators.
To that end, we are proud to announce the launch of SensoftU (www.sensoftu.com), an interactive online learning platform, which takes our GPR training courses to a new level. This is not just watching videos or static presentations. SensoftU features true interactive courses where the user is engaged, learning, interacting, and answering questions along the way.
The first course we have available is the Nulca-accredited, Utility Locating with GPR. This course mimics our current one- day live course. Users learn about GPR theory, factors affecting GPR signals, use of Line Scan and Grid Scan and data interpretation. Throughout the course, there are questions to reinforce learning and retention of key concepts. To see some of the interactive content, click on one of the links below:
The following interactive slides contain audio; make sure your speakers or headphones are connected and the volume is turned up. Click the Play button to start the presentation
At the end of the course, there is a quiz. Upon passing the quiz, the user can print a certificate of completion right on the spot. As we develop this platform, new content will be added regularly to address the many applications of GPR. To register for a course visit www.sensoftU.com. Free courses can be accessed after registering. To access paid courses, use the access code provided by the Sensors & Software training team or pay for the course through PayPal.
Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, we knew the importance of providing online education. Now, even more so, online learning is certainly the way of the future as companies and users can realize many benefits:
- Cost effective: Reduce travel costs to attend in-person training and minimize downtime while travelling to a live course.
- On-demand: Easily register & start training online anytime, allowing you to train employees on short notice, and have existing employees attend refresher courses.
- Convenience: Train anywhere, anytime, on any device.
- Flexibility: Learn at your own pace. Replay sections you want to review. Resume course from where you left off.
Online learning allows Sensors & Software to better support our customers and dealers worldwide, where travel can sometimes be cost-prohibitive. In addition, as many academic institutions move towards online learning, this platform can supplement their course curriculum by allowing students to learn about GPR in a one-stop shop.
While we are sure this is exciting news for you, it is important to note that SensoftU is not replacing any of our existing training offerings, but rather augmenting them so you have more options for learning. These courses include:
- Live 1-day and 3-day courses
- Live and Pre-recorded webinars
- Product training videos
- Custom one-on-one web training
Whether you are training new employees, providing a refresher course for existing employees or taking a course to meet continuing education requirements, SensoftU is ready and waiting. Visit www.sensoftU.com to start learning!
