TUTORIAL SESSIONS - 12 half day courses
This year INTELEC is proud to present a program of the most comprehensive tutorials of any telecommunications power conference. The tutorials will be accredited by the IEEE - attendance and successful completion of an examination on the subject matter will be recognized by the award of Continuing Education Units (CEU). Whatever your level of experience, they will help you gain new insight and skills, enhancing your career potential.
Tutorial participants will be awarded 0.4 CEU's
for each half-day course successfully completed.
The program will start on Sunday and continue with sessions on every day of the conference, with two tutorials running in parallel in each of six time slots. Your registration as a tutorial program attendee will provide you access to the entire tutorial program, allowing your completion of six complete tutorials. For detailed information click here.
