The
advanced course is aimed
at personnel who have
gained a thorough basic
understanding of the SLC-500.
The course has been designed
to introduce some of the
more complex functions
and facilities associated
with the SLC-500. It would
be an advantage if the
student has already completed
an SLC-500 4 day maintenance
course.
Where
possible, application
specific exercises, actual
drawings and programs
listings are used to allow
the students to gain the
greatest possible benefit
from the course.
