Training by an instrument manufacturer is provided at various levels, ranging from basic operation requirements of instrumentation to high level courses for specific advanced level applications and integrated solutions.

Initial training usually is in the form of an initial familiarization performed by the installation engineer, and subsequent training is given at training courses at the instrument company laboratory or, in some instances, at the customer site. Manufacturer training can be required on different levels from initiation to basic techniques and operation of the instrumentation to advanced courses for specific applications. Although basic theory is present at the start of a course, the overall aim is to provide practical expertise on an operational level. It is encouraged that customers who are new to the techniques presented may avail themselves of more theoretically orientated courses available at universities and other private institutes.
