The Technical Workshop Courses have been designed for advanced Users of motion. These courses cover areas such as understanding software programming languages, specific applications, sizing and selection. The emphasis is on 'hands on' experience to aid understanding. These courses will initially review some of the areas covered in the Introduction to Motion course before progressing to in-depth training on specific products.

The courses are designed to run from 9.00am to 4.30pm at our Basingstoke location. They include all course notes, software and training videos where used. These courses can also be run at your site. Please contact us with your actual preferences for us to discuss with you.

We generally need at least 2 weeks notice to arrange dates that suit both parties. Please give as much notice as possible to help us give you the dates you want.
