Online Aermod Training
Since 1998, Lakes Environmental has been providing in-person air dispersion modeling training worldwide. Our popular classes focus on the theoretical and regulatory applications of AERMOD, complemented by practical hands-on exercises to reinforce theory and real-world application.
Building on the success of our in-person courses, we are now offering our renowned AERMOD course online. This allows participants to receive the same hands-on experience and individual attention from our expert senior instructors from the comfort of their home or office.
Throughout the course, every attendee is given access to our AERMOD View software, ensuring they have all the necessary tools and information to complete their training and conduct their own AERMOD modeling projects.
Lakes Environmental equips you with the necessary materials for your future endeavors with AERMOD modeling. We supply you with online access to the course presentation, software to use throughout the duration of the course, and electronic course notes that take you step-by-step through modeling procedures.
Note: Course attendees are not permitted to share, record, or distribute the course presentation (whether live or streamed content) in any format.
