Get the training you need to stay competitivein today’s job market:Courses at SPIE Events offer an engaging experience for those who prefer face-to-face instruction, where interaction with the instructor and sharing information with other students provides increased value.

In-Company Training brings customized technical courses directly to your facility so you can train many employees at one time. Taught by expert instructors, these courses save time and money by reducing travel costs and time out of the offi ce.

Online Courses bring top SPIE instructors to your home or offi ce at your convenience. They feature full video of the instructor with synchronized PowerPoint slides and quizzes to test retention. All SPIE online courses are eligible for CEU credits.

DVDs, Videos, and CD-ROMs from SPIE offer valuable self-directed learning experiences where convenience and time management are primary considerations. Include these “captured” courses in your organization’s training library for use by multiple employees.

Formats vary by course title, so please check the Education section of SPIE.org to see what is available.
