We’ve spent many years developing a comprehensive automation and controls training program called NTH University to accelerate the development of our new hires. By using our training services, you get access to the same resources and materials that we use to develop our own high-performing controls engineers. We’ve designed our training to be modular, customizable, and support a wide variety of platforms in order to meet your unique needs.
