NI extends live instructor-led online training to Europe

John Pasquarette, Vice President of Product Marketing for Software at National Instruments, says: "Online training courses make it easier for engineers to receive training from NI and add new skills that increase their competitive advantage in today's marketplace. Because these instructor-led, interactive training courses are available in half-day instalments, participants can take part in the courses from their desks, saving travel costs and time away from the office. With instructor-led online courses, it is easier than ever to work toward LabVIEW certification."

Using Internet chat or Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), participants interact in real time with the instructor during live online training courses. With the recent European expansion, instructor-led online training is now offered to European customers in Italian, French, Spanish and German in addition to English. Identical in coursework to NI regional training courses, instructor-led online training gives participants remote access to hardware and software. Before the training begins, the course manual, complete with exercises for download before the course, is available for participants. They also receive a recording of the actual session after the class concludes.

Engineers with NI Training and Certification membership have access to unlimited regional and online training courses and certifications for one year at one low price. For engineers who require only a limited number of courses in a shorter period of time, a six-month membership is also available. Using knowledge gained through NI training, engineers and scientists can take exams to confirm their technical growth and skills. Achieving certification through exams helps engineers and scientists differentiate themselves, and offers employees a highly credible way to identify job candidates with pertinent skills, select current employees for promotions and pinpoint tasks to outsource.

In 2008 some 25,000 users worldwide were trained through the NI Training and Certification programme.
