The courses taught are the same as the Scheduled Live Courses, except we teach them at your facility.  At our client's request, OSCI Inc. teaches one or more of our live optical engineering training courses at the client's site for groups of three or more people.  Clients find this to be one of the most economic and quickest ways to teach a group of their engineers, technicians, managers, and others.

Clients find this to be a very economic solution to teach their engineers, technicians, managers, and others.  Client's provide the facility and OSCI Inc. provides all of the training materials, hands-on toys, and the expert instruction for less than it would cost to send your group to a scheduled live course and to pay for all of the travel expenses.  This is a high return on your training investment by leverage your training time and your training dollars.  If you are interested in a customized short course to meet your particular optical engineering training needs, contact us to schedule a private, in-house course.
