Trainings

SCANeR studio is a very complete software, containing many functions. To properly manage the configurations of your simulators or your HPC calculation, to create advanced or 3D Terrain scenarios, and finally, to optimally use the APIs, training sessions with our expert are necessary. It is not only a question of learning to use SCANeR studio, but also of acquiring all the knowledge around its functionalities in order to use it in the most optimal way possible and to obtain a good quality and reliability of your uses. In addition, you will also be in contact with our team and its expertise!

Training Registration

Based on the feedback of its customers, AVSimulation has extended its training offer and is now providing a standard set of training modules to cover the large range of applications of SCANeR™studio.
This catalog lists all the available programs sorted by categories and modules.
These training modules are oriented toward a good user experience through exercises and real world samples.
Training options
There are different ways to attend a training:
– at AVSimulation office in Boulogne-Billancourt
– online, at your office
Regular training sessions will be organized as follows:
– One computer and one SCANeR studio full license per trainee
– Access to AVSimulation integration workshop for the practice sessions with SCANeR studio approved hardware
– Opportunity to meet the SCANeR studio support and development team
Training sessions will be arranged for 2 to 6 students.
