Overview

The CSDS GSA (Geospatial Academy) has been developed in order to give you access to regular, quarterly Trimble Business Center Basics-Intermediate training by Trimble Certified Instructor, Terrell Carlton, in addition to highly discounted Special Focus Courses (SFC’s) from the convenience of your computer at the location of your choice.

This allows you to continue to learn and gain critical skills that help you extract the utmost value from your investment in Trimble geospatial instrumentation and software. Trainees will be able to track their progress and each completed course will earn you a CSDS Certified Training certificate that displays the number of hours completed.

These trainings will be offered on a quarterly basis, allowing users to review and solidify their knowledge over time, instead of needing to remember everything presented in a single course.

Benefits

The Academy subscription model has several benefits:

Quarterly, Online TBC Courses
Enable greater return on your investment by increasing their employees knowledge using a convenient, web-based platform.

Archived Training Data: recordings are available online for 24 hours after each course.

Subscribers are automatically enrolled in a Priority Support & Maintenance contract which gives them guaranteed 2-hour response time, Google Meet/Facetime Support, and the ability for them to send in data for us to further analyze and troubleshoot issues, as well as discounts on annual software maintenance.

A CSDS Certification per course segment taken (and passing a brief quiz) will allow students and their managers to document their trainings; it can also serve as great platform for on-boarding new employees.

Special Focus Courses (SFC’s) will be offered throughout the year. This will be deep dive webinars into topics like TBC’s Scanning Module, Roads in TBC and Trimble Access, and more.

Why the CSDS Geospatial Academy?

We realize that the cost of on-site, certified training is not merely the cost for the trainer’s time, experience and training material.

It’s the cost of travel. The lodging expenses. And more than anything else, the cost of pulling yourself or your crews out of the field all day, for multiple days in order to receive this training.

Secondly, retaining what you’ve learned and staying up to date with the newest releases of precision positioning field and office software, such as Trimble Access and Business Center, can be a challenge within itself.

Finally, if you’re a business owner, survey manager or crew chief – the onboarding process can’t always occur exactly when and where you need it. We have recognized that times have changed and in order for your operations to remain nimble, on budget and on schedule – you need a training option that works well with your schedule.

One that’s affordable and keeps you and your crews up to date with the radical enhancements to the hardware and software that you’ve invested in. And because of this, we’ve developed the CSDS Geospatial Academy (CSDS GSA).
