Users that undertake Nanometrics system training and learning opportunities experience better working networks, higher data availability and lower operating costs.
Deployment of real-time seismic networks represents an important financial and institutional investment. Ensuring the network operates at the highest efficiency and availability, while easy to achieve, requires the involvement of well-trained personnel. A training program is an investment with substantial return for the network owner.
Nanometrics understands this requirement and has developed training programs with the objective of producing owner/operator expertise in system operation. The training program also takes into consideration the realties of how people learn and supplies the right amount of material at the appropriate juncture in network deployment. While there is more than one way to deliver the training program, experience has demonstrated that the most effective approach is a series of training events coincident with network milestones. An example:
Milestone
| Program
| Content
| Initial System Deployment
| Commissioning support on-site
Goal- to establish a working network
| Nanometrics field engineers attend to assist customers with installation and commissioning of the Hub or central site and several remote sites. A minimal amount of classroom training is conducted to ensure the customer understands how the system operates and that the customer can conduct basic configuration changes and maintenance.
| 6-12 months post initial deployment
| Systems course
Goal- to deepen customers network understanding and optimization
| Two weeks of classroom lectures and laboratory exercises. This course is generally conducted at the Nanometrics training facility in Ottawa, Canada but can also be done on-site.
Experience has shown that the material covered is best understood following actual customer experience with the system.
| 18-24 months post initial deployment
| Engineering Visits
Advanced Operations
| Content is derived from real-life examples of issues customers may be facing. This is generally done with a Nanometrics engineer either in Ottawa or on-site
