Custom on-site courses are courses that are designed by you. We will work with you to choose the material (lectures and labs) that suite your training needs.
Once the course material has been finalized we will bring the course to your office(s) and present it to your employees in a familiar work environment which enhances the learning process and reduces costs allowing you to train more employees for a given training budget.
We allow you to provide the computers that will be used during the course so that you can ensure the course software works efficiently on you computer system.
Course Topics
To design a custom course, you can choose from any of the course topics contained in our regular groundwater modeling courses, including:
Groundwater flow modeling with MODFLOW, MODPATH and ZoneBudget
Solute transport modeling with MT3D and RT3D
Model calibration using WinPEST
Finite groundwater modeling with FEFLOW
Environmental database management and GIS analysis (HydroGeo Analyst)
Pumping and slug test analysis (AquiferTest Pro)
Water Quality Data Management (AquaChem) and geochemical modeling (PHREEQC)
You can also choose the number of days that you would like set aside for the course.
Course Objectives & Benefits
During a Custom On-Site course you will receive:
A solid understanding of the theory behind environmental data management and groundwater modeling
A better understanding of the application of modeling software to common groundwater problems
A complete set of course lecture notes and lab exercises – an excellent reference source when we leave!
A CD of electronic files and a demo copy of each software package to complete the exercises after the course is complete
Discounted rates for all course software
Course Description
Our On-site courses generally start with an introduction to the groundwater modeling process and an overview of the software programs that are used to analyze the groundwater environment (data management, water quality analysis, groundwater flow, and solute transport modeling). The specific lecture presentations will depend on the course topics that are chosen.
Our training courses alternate between PowerPoint presentations of the theory behind each course topic, and practical hands-on computer exercises to implement the concepts using the chosen software programs. Each course is designed to begin with the fundamentals and then go beyond these introductory topics and provide advice on how to apply the specific software to practical groundwater data management analysis, and modeling scenarios.
This course was designed in conjunction with you to choose the topics, exercises and software that best fit your needs for groundwater data management and analysis.
