VSAT TRAINING COURSES IN AFRICA

Example...

VSAT training in Senegal

Last year we have been putting lot of efforts, and after long time, we have brought to the air our own on-line VSAT training portal, to be used by our engineers. We are very satisfied with the result, and we will keep improving it.

Now, we are taking another step forward in the same direction, and I will be travelling to Dakar  to provide a 4 days theoretical and hands-on training.

The cost of the training is reduced if you are registered engineer with Oasis Networks.

The training is suitable for field engineers that already have some experience with VSAT. We will cover some theoretical aspects, going from the basics of electromagnetic waves to practical aspects of our work on the field.

Certifications of Oasis will be granted as well for the engineers who will pass the exams along the training session.

Anyone interested, please contact me to secure your seat.
