Nautel training programs are made up of individual modules that can be 'mixed and matched' to meet 
the customer’s specific training needs. All Nautel training courses are available at the Nautel Training 
Center. Training can also be provided at the customer’s facility, and training the customer’s technical 
staff on the customer’s transmitter. 

All training courses at the Nautel Training Centre combine classroom and hands-on laboratory work 
to ensure a balanced learning experience. 

Nautel training courses feature: 

Limited class sizes to ensure maximum student participation and access to equipment 

Emphasis on need-to-know, day-to-day knowledge 

Labs that focus on the tasks most often performed at the transmitter site. 

Many of our classes also include diagnostic lab exercises.
