SenTek Training Classes and Seminars
SenTek provides a wide variety of training classes and seminars for our customers. These training classes are held both at our customers' plant sites and at SenTek's facility in Columbus.
Our training classes are intended for the engineers, technicians, operators, electricians, and millwrights who install, operate, maintain, and calibrate X-ray and isotope gauges and scanners. These classes and seminars are set up as a modular system, where the customer can combine one or more modules to a training program that is most appropriate for their needs.
