C&R offers several standard training courses. These standard courses, hosted in the Denver Colorado metro area, provide an overview of heat transfer and fluid flow modeling with an emphasis on the use of modern software tools for both geometric and nongeometric (network) models. The courses include both lectures and hands-on experience, with at least one computer available per two attendees. Also included are tutorials and all presentation materials. As an alternative C&R offers custom training classes either in Denver or at your facility. Please visit our custom training page to learn more.

We also provide free training through short topic sessions online. If you would like to receive automaticemail notifications when any class is scheduled in the future, please register for our Support Forum and place a "watch" on the Events and Training Forum.
