The training consists of case-based training sessions, in which an instructor will guide the participants through a series of hands-on training scenarios based primarily on the knowledge acquired from the eLearning modules and combined with a short introduction to each main topic by the instructor

During the course, participants are guided through how to: 

• Install the relevant NaviSuite software packages
• Conduct editing of multi-beam and single beam echo sounder data in a NaviEdit/NaviModel environment
• Integration of pipe/cable tracker data
• Kalman filtering of USBL data and integration of INS
• Use the EC-3D automatic cleaning tool
• Use the various DTM tools in NaviModel
• Conduct volume and area calculations in NaviModel
• Use video and still image integration in NaviModel
• Use the pipeline inspection tools in NaviModel
• Use eventing in NaviModel
• Export data from NaviModel using user-configurable as well as built-in tools
