Specto Training Center Proving to be Valuable Tool for Wireless Monitoring Professionals

When we opened our Training Center in April of 2017, we did so with the vision of becoming the go-to resource for professionals in the Geotechnical, Structural and Environmental Wireless Monitoring industry. Our objective was to leverage the collective experience of the Specto Technology team and that of our partners to provide technical information and hands-on training to engineers, contractors, project managers and others in the monitoring field. We are proud to say that our Training Center and the courses provided over the past two years are a big hit and a valuable resource for our clients!

Clients Express Satisfaction, Request Additional Training Opportunities

Our Training Center has hosted numerous classes which have received rave reviews from our clients. From new employees just starting out in the wireless monitoring realm to seasoned professionals looking to get up-to-speed on the latest, most advanced wireless technologies and monitoring equipment, attendees of our workshops have expressed their satisfaction with the setting, the content of the courses, and, most of all, the instructors.

The small classroom setting (class sizes are limited to 12 attendees) and the hands-on nature of the trainings have received many positive reviews. However, the most lauded aspect of the trainings, based on attendee feedback, is the access the trainings provide to wireless monitoring experts from both Specto and our product partners, such as Aeroqual, Topcon and Instantel. Our clients are thrilled with the opportunity to have their questions answered and discuss technical information face-to-face with the instructors.

Additional perks popular with attendees include the opportunity to earn PDH (Professional Development Hours) credits for our Vibration Monitoring Training Courses (attendees can earn 6 PDH credits); the easy accessibility of our Linden, NJ training center via transit or car and, of course, the attendee “Swag Bags” which contain useful “goodies” from Specto and our partners.

Custom Training Classes Available

In addition to our scheduled classes, our clients have found our custom training classes that focus on a specific product or products extremely helpful in getting their project up and running or expanding their teams’ expertise in a particular area.  Contact us discuss your specific training needs and learn more about our custom training class options.
