Vacuum Training
Regional Basic Vacuum & Leak Detection (4 days)
Course Cost: $1,495
Course Description: This four-day course combines our two most in-demand courses, Basic Vacuum Practice and Leak Detection Applications & Techniques, into one short and cost-effective course, delivered at regional locations throughout North America. See the full schedule, or see the details on regional courses coming up in the next few months.
Demonstration equipment, including a turbo-pumped high vacuum system and a component leak detector system, is provided for hands-on activities. See the course descriptions for Basic Vacuum Practice and Leak Detection Applications & Techniques for more information on course content.
Prerequisites: None.
Max. Number of Students: 24
