Since 2021, edVirtus has delivered a range of professiona short courses to over 50 organisations from Defence and defence industry. We understand the need for investment in a highly skilled workforce, particularly in the modern Defence environment where effective sovereign capability requires more than capita and infrastructure investment.
With over forty years of high-level Defence, industry, and academic experience, edVirtus is well-equipped to address any skills deficit through the delivery of diverse and highly regarded professional short courses. If 2024 was your year of investing in people, then why not finish on a high with a suite of excellent communication technology courses.
For over two decades the Fundamentals of Communication Systems course has bridged the communications techno ogy gap for
non-technical managers working in technical environments. Over three days subject matter expert Dr Mike Rya itroduces attendees to the fundamental princip es, concepts, technologies, and systems associated with modern communications systems. No prior technical or communications knowledge is assumed-in fact, the course is ideally suited to those who do not necessarily have a technical background.
Why not consider an Introduction to Radio Frequency Propagation. Over two-days Dr Mike Ryan introduces RF in an easy-to-understand way. After covering several basic building blocks, the course covers the major modes of RF propagation: ground wave (space wave and ground-reflected wave), surface wave, skywave, and scattered wave. The nature of each mode is exp ained, as is the associated propagation mechanisms, appropriate panning approaches, and applications. Understanding of each of the modes is foci itated by examples and exercises. No technical or engineering expertise is required. Each attendee will receive the electronic course materia s and a course completion certificate.

Complete the suite of communications technology courses this year with Satellite Communications. Over the past century individuals and organisations have learnt to rely on Satellite Technology as a means of providing essential communication services. This December Dr Ryan explains satellite communication technology in detail. The
Sate lite Communications courses build into a comprehensive knowledge base. The one-day Overview course provides attendees with a comprehensive framework of the issues associated with the design and operation of satellite communications systems. The three-day Intermediate course incorporates this overview and provides a more-detailed understanding of the issues associated with the design and operation of modern sate lite communications systems.
For those needing a more well-rounded understanding of satellite communications, the five-day Advanced course encompassed all the knowledge gained in the overview and intermediate course programs, as well Orbit Calculations, Look Ang e Calculations, Propagation Ca cu ations, Antenna Calculations, Link Budget Calculations, and ndividua Link Budget Exercise.
edVirtus courses are delivered in person and in live virtual mode. Presenters engage with attendees in real time. ndividuals and groups register for scheduled courses via the website. Organisations can design tailored in-house courses delivered directly to their workp aces. Bulk training packages are available with significantly discounted flexible packages that pace mu tiple people over many different courses throughout the year. Specific needs-based workshops can also be facilitated.
If 2024 was the year for investing in educational excellence, then finish on a high with three learning opportunities from the best.
