Short Courses

AEROmetrex offers short courses “on-site” at your international location.
These courses are a combination of theory and “hands-on” practicals;
covering the many digital mapping subjects. Via a strategic alliance with several industry partners,
plus the Flinders University of South Australia, AEROmetrex combines it’s own “production-hardened”
skills and knowledge to offer specific and valuable courses.
These courses are offered as either 2-day, 5-day or 10-day courses, on YOUR location.
Courses:
2-day courses
More suited to planners/managers – could involve managers sitting in on ‘case studies’ component of
5 day course.
5-day courses ‘applying tools to specific issues’ comprising
Theory – concepts, underlying principals
Case studies – demos
Exercises – hands on applications to reinforce theory
We offer a range of topics/subjects/modules within expertise of group.
Provide a choice of modules: Remain flexible on modules
10-day courses – or follow up on identified issues following 5 day courses.
