Vaisala Road / Runway and Rail Weather Customer
Training
Vaisala offers a wide range of training courses on all aspects of Highway,
Rail and Runway Weather systems and winter service operations. Courses
cater for all levels of expertise, ranging from introductory courses for
new users to more advanced training for experienced clients.
All training courses are specifically designed with the principal aim
being to provide the delegate with all the relevant information needed to make
the best winter service decision back at their place of work.
The courses include a large amount of
interaction and participation by the delegates. Particular
emphasis is placed on free and open discussion to help facilitate the
swapping of best practice ideas. Full course handout notes are also
provided to each delegate.
The courses are modular and can be taken individually or as part of a
longer learning program. Numbers on the course are deliberately limited in
order that each delegate gains the maximum benefit from the training.
Below is a list of the standard courses we offer, however we can also create
specifically tailored courses if required.
For any questions regarding training please contact your local
sales contact, using the Sales Contact tab at the top of this
page.
