Istec Academy

Throughout the years we have had a strong focus on sharing knowledge regarding speed and vibration measurements on rotating machinery. We took this drive to share our knowledge a step further by launching our online learning environment: the Istec Academy.

With the Istec Academy we aim to educate students and engineers, and provide the opportunity to extend their competencies regarding speed and vibration measurements on rotating machinery. The Istec Academy features video learning courses, written courses, product courses, access to valuable documentation, and the opportunity to earn certificates.
