Image Quality Training
We offer image quality training courses from beginner to advanced levels taught by our experienced image quality engineers and scientists. These courses are meticulously tailored to your experience level and individual camera testing requirements. We offer training sessions anywhere from two hours (typically online) to two days (generally on-site).
On-site training can be held at your offices or our headquarters in Kerpen, Germany. We often recommend training at our office for beginners or those building an image quality test lab so that we can provide a tour of our test lab and provide tips for setting one up yourself.
Online training courses can be designed and scheduled to suit your needs. For example, you can stagger sessions to apply your learning to your daily testing and then collect questions for the next session.
In addition, we offer product-specific training for all our products and software. This type of training can be done online or on-site and is generally very beneficial for new engineers and expanding teams.
Don't hesitate to contact our support team at for more information about setting up a training course. You can also contact your local handler for training inquiries.
Below is an example agenda of a complete training overview of our most common topics. This example does not cover the full extent of our training options. Our support team will craft an agenda to ensure we cover all your requirements.
