Frequently Asked Questions

Training FAQ

Most courses are conducted onsite at your location, facility, or active jobsite across Florida. Private training travels to you. Some equipment familiarization sessions are available via video call (Zoom) for remote support.

Class sizes are kept small — typically 2 to 6 participants — to ensure maximum hands-on time and personalized instruction. Larger group requests are accommodated through private onsite training with adjusted pricing.

Training sessions use professional-grade GPR systems including the US Radar Quantum Imager, GSSI Structure Scan Mini, and other systems we rent and sell. Equipment familiarization sessions are tailored to the specific system your crew will be using.

No. Our concrete scanning and utility locating courses are designed to accommodate both first-time operators and professionals looking to sharpen their skills. Beginners are welcome and will receive foundational instruction before field work.

GPR Training courses are practical field training programs. Completion does not constitute professional certification, regulatory licensing, or qualification as a utility locator under state or local law. Certificates of completion document your training but should not be confused with industry certifications such as GSSI's GPR Operator certification or NUCA utility locating credentials.
