Training
How long will it take?
- Training at the EPIC takes an average of 2 days to cover a typical experiment. The first day involves an overview from the PI, a discussion of proposed logistics, introduction or review of project instrumentation and a practice site installation. The second day covers station servicing and demobilization, the EPIC suite of software for data download and review, and introduction or review of EPIC preferred database and data archiving procedures.

Why is training important?
EPIC feels that training is important for both the novice and well-seasoned PI.
- Training provides hands-on interaction with the many types of instrumentation, software and data handling that EPIC supplies.
- With this hands-on interaction, comes the opportunity to ask questions you might not have thought to ask (until you were in the field with the equipment) and the opportunity to have them answered immediately by our on-site knowledgeable staff.
