AMS training courses are usually held at AMS’ modern training facility at the company’s main headquarters in Knoxville, Tennessee (USA). Various courses can also be conducted at specific locations in Europe and Asia to best fit the needs of the client or attendees. AMS will also bring the course to any company or organization that enrolls a minimum of five people.
AMS training courses are presented in a classroom setting in the mornings with hands-on laboratory experiments in the afternoons. During the 5-day master course, one afternoon is free for the participants to spend at their discretion and another afternoon is devoted to one-on-one discussions between the participants and AMS course instructors, engineers, and managers.
The course material for AMS courses is derived from the latest available technical information available. AMS continually tracks, analyzes, and assembles the most recent, cutting-edge advances in the field. Each attendee of an AMS course is provided with a package of teaching material to supplement the course, including the course presentation slides and related resources such as technical papers, books, and industry reports.
After successful completion of the course, each attendee will receive a formal Certificate of Attendance signed by the course instructors and AMS management.
