Continuing Professional Development: Master Classes in Laser Technology
The PSI offers a continuing professional development course for the laser industry. With a flexible course structure and small classes, our master classes in laser technology can be tailored to individual needs. Designed in consultation with industry, this practical course covers many aspects of modern laser technology, including laser safety training, patent searching and the laser business. Applications are now being accepted.
