Customer feedback

We made the decision to transition our measurement technology over to the hardware provided by Gantner Instruments. This change allowed us to record all of our necessary measurements with just one system. To ensure that all of our employees who interact with this device are equally proficient, we decided to host the GI.BASIC training right here in our own facility. The training covered theoretical topics such as fundamental hardware settings, measuring channel configurations, data logger setup, and more. In addition, we were given the opportunity to put our newly acquired knowledge to the test in a practical environment. The trainers brought all the necessary hardware, which facilitated a seamless hands-on portion of the course. They were consistently able to offer competent answers and helpful guidance whenever issues or questions came up. All things considered, we were extremely satisfied with the training and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to experiment with the GI.bench or the Gantner Instruments' hardware.

Christian Waldleitner, sgs, May 17, 2023"Basic Training Customer"

It was a very interesting training, which provided a very good insight into the possibilities of Gantner's measurement technology and GI.bench. We found the very open and relaxed atmosphere and design of the training to be very pleasant. The premises and the provided equipment have remained in our memory as very modern and contemporary. The technical competence of the speaker also knew how to convince and left no questions unanswered. In combination with the additional program to the pure training, it was an all-round successful event. Many thanks again at this point, we can unreservedly recommend the training.

Dr. Christian Friedrich, KSB SE & Co. KGaA"Basic Training Customer"

We at LWE have only recently started using the Q.series and GI.bench, so for some participants the training was their first point of contact with GI.bench. All participants were involved in the training, and the alternation between theory and practice made it very entertaining for everyone. We especially liked the fact that the training was individually adapted to our problems and needs.
