Order nowThe eLearning part of this training course is divided in four modules:
Module 1: Basics
Module 2: ToFD Theory
Module 3: Evaluation
Module 4: Review
Each module covers a different topic related to the main theme of the course and has its own set of activities. The Theory section consists of articles and resources that provide an overview of the subject matter and key concepts. The Interactive Exercises allow users to practice applying their knowledge in real-life scenarios. Module 3: Data Analysis
Module 4: Review
Each module contains:
Pages explaining the underlying theory
Videos explaining the theoretical and practical aspects of Time of Flight Diffraction (ToFD),
Silverlight interactive exercises in which the student can build a set-up, practice calibration and scanning and learn to evaluate real data
When you have booked your training, you will receive an email notification with your login details. You will then have 30 days before the course start date to go through the modules.
