Attendees Said...
"It has often been said that aviation, and avionics in particular, has its own unique language of abbreviations and acronyms. This course will demystify some of that strange language and give insight on how the systems work."
"The instructor's grasp of the subject matter was exceptional!"
"This is one of the best courses I have ever taken. Dr. Helfrick is the "Wikipedia" of Avionics & associated topics..."
Continuing Education Units (CEUs)
Embry-Riddle will award 3.5 CEUs to each attendee who successfully completes the course. A Certificate of Completion will be awarded to each attendee upon completion of the course.
