Through both lectures and actual hands-on experience, our program provides the student with the understanding of theory of operation as well operation of their Astro-Med data acquisition and recording products. The college is held at our factory in West Warwick, Rhode Island.

For the Dash Series, classes are two days in length. Class begins on Wednesday and ends on Thursday. This class covers operation of the Dash Series recorders. A small portion of time is spent on routine maintenance, software upgrade and calibration to round out the student’s knowledge of the products.
