Leica Training Support Package We believe that a training course is the first step to competency in using our Detection products. Competency is defined as “the ability to do something successfully or efficiently”. A single training course may well give the trainee confidence in using the equipment but competency comes with time spent using it. It’s an unfortunate fact that many of the trainees on our courses may only use the equipment a handful of times a year. The knowledge gained in that short period can be quickly lost as time passes. To combat this we are offering a unique “Training Support Package”. Along with the original training course we will also deliver on site refresher courses tailored to your specific support requirements. The package also includes exclusive support material and continued technical assistance when required. We have found that frequent training is an effective way of maintaining a safer workflow.
