Online Training
We invite you to join us for:
- Live interactive online meetings
- Online training sessions
- Online product demonstrations
- Group collaboration
You no longer have to wait for the Spectronics team to visit you in person, as we can now be there “virtually” giving you the information and live interactive demos that you need, to help you to decide which technologies are best for your particular needs. To help you decide which will be of most benefit to your students and/or clients.
If you have specific topics that you would like to see covered in an online demonstration or training session – please let us know. It will help our team to plan for the topics that we need to cover. Also let us know what time of day (or night) would suit you best to login and join an online presentation. Please send your requests or suggestions to Eliza Bale at Spectronics.
Spectronics staff also are available on a fee-for-service basis to deliver training customised to your specific needs – your place or ours! Please contact Spectronics for more details or click here to download our Spectronics Professional Training Services Guide and Schedule of Fees.
