2006 training courses bookable on-line

The international acoustics and vibration specialist, Bruel and Kjaer UK, announces its 2006 programme of training courses, all of which are listed and bookable via the website

The international acoustics and vibration specialist, Bruel and Kjaer UK, announces its 2006 programme of training courses.

This year's series focuses on engineers and technicians seeking to improve their theoretical knowledge of acoustics and vibration technologies.

Many of the courses will feature hands-on training with state-of-the-art instrumentation.

Many are intended for first-time users of the equipment or those in need of refresher training, and will explain the basic functions, set-up and use of equipment from Bruel and Kjaer and other vendors.

For the second year, would-be delegates for the training courses will be able to see detailed information on Bruel and Kjaer's UK website, and use an online form to register for events.

The courses range from favourites such as Sound Insulation Measurements, Pulse User Training, and Principles of Acoustics and Vibration Measurements, to the return of the popular Noise Tour educational seminars on noise measurement and analysis.

Among new courses available in 2006 is the Matron Breakfast Seminar, an informal session on the operation of the Matron III Neighbour Noise Monitoring System.

This two-hour training session provides guidance on set-up and calibration, best practice for analysis and assessment of measurements and recordings, report generation, and data archiving.

Coffee, croissants and other breakfast alternatives are provided.

An 'Introduction to Sound Intensity Measurements' is recommended mainly for those who are new to sound intensity and wish to gain a basic working knowledge of the main principles, although more experienced users may also find it useful.

No prior knowledge of the subject is required, and the course commences with some brief revision of relevant acoustics principles.

The course includes practical demonstrations and the opportunity for some hands-on experience.

The 2250 and Matron III User Training course is designed for users new to the Type 2250 Hand-held Analyser or those in need of a refresher course on the basic functions of the system.

The course runs through set-up of the instrument to data download procedures using Type BZ-5503 Utility Software for Hand-held Analysers, and covers the operation of the Matron III Neighbour Noise Monitoring System.

Delegates will be taken through a number of measurement and calculation exercises using their own 2250 instruments.

Case studies will be used and discussed throughout.

During 2006 Bruel and Kjaer will also be running courses on the Internet.

They will be announced on the website throughout the year.
