LabVIEW Training

Training Overview

Hands-on Curriculum

We provide hands-on practical application labs with all of our training courses to increase overall retention and understanding of course material.

Typically, the provided training hardware is [1] NI DAQ-6002 per student, in combination with custom prototype boards & components. The hardware, utilized with practical application labs, allows students to observe and visualize LabVIEW programming techniques and functionalities in-action.

Custom Training

While we do offer "off-the-shelf" training to provide cost-effective solutions for our clients, customized training courses are also offered to support specific client or project design requirements.

Onsite Instructor-led Training

Online training has its advantages, however, we believe the best value to our clients is through on-site instructor-led courses that provide:

Immediate student-instructor feedback
Application-specific training & insight
Hands-on & demonstration-based material
1-on-1 support throughout training

All-inclusive Pricing

Our pricing includes everything to provide effective and value-added training at highly competitive rates. All training pricing includes the following:

Personal laptop per student with LabVIEW development environment
Training presentation & exercise book
Demonstration & hands-on teaching materials
Instructor travel & accommodations (airfare, rental car, hotel, etc.)

LabVIEW Training Testimonials

“The class on basic elements to understand LabVIEW was well presented in such a way that the student could become familiar with the material. The class was fantastic, instructor did a fabulous job at presenting the material.... Great JOB!!!!”

“[Instructor] does a great job incorporating industry applications into the course which allows everyone to get experience with real world applications. During the class you learn a lot of information quickly but it is taught well enough for all to understand. [Instructor] asks for questions often and makes sure that everyone is up to speed and understanding the topics.”

“I would highly recommend this training. I was overall pleased with the material and exercises performed. I feel more knowledgeable now and wish to continue my programming in the future. I honestly would not change a thing. I am a slower learner but feel that the Instructor explained the material in such a way that I was able to maintain most of it.”

“Instructor-lead training is best way to learn new [programming] languages - especially this one. The instructor cares about students learning the material.”

“The layout of this course was easy to follow with a good tempo. Preceding exercises gave foundation for following topics, which helped ingrain functions and methods. The frequency of exercises was at a good pace to keep the focus on learning.”

“Extremely informative and presented in an understandable way. Examples/exercises and the “hands-on” labs are written to illustrate “real world” scenarios, which allowed me to understand the actual application of the code. I personally enjoyed taking this course and have/will recommend it to others.”

“Great Class! I feel like I have learned a lot and the hands on lessons have helped me grasp the function. I really liked the structure and the flow of the class and feel that each lesson led into the next very well.”
