£250 + VAT per delegate
Online Course
OR
Equipe Training Offices, Banbury
Please check course location for each date.
This one-day course will provide a deep dive into the AGS data transfer format for geotechnical and geoenvironmental data. The focus will be on the data itself, not its implementation in software. The course will cover fundamentals such as the data structure and encoding rules, before going on to look at some of the common problems that can arise and strategies that can be adopted to avoid them.
This course is suitable for anyone involved with the specification, production or use of AGS data, i.e. clients, contractors or consultants. Experienced users will benefit from the deep dive into common problem areas, but no prior knowledge of AGS data is required as the course will start with the basics.
