in-person Campbell Scientific geotechnical training

We offer various training options to provide you with a flexible path forward in understanding the full capabilities of your Campbell Scientific instrumentation.



At Campbell Scientific

If you prefer in-person training, register for our Geotechnical and Structural Instrumentation Training Course at the Campbell Scientific corporate headquarters in Logan, Utah. This three-day, comprehensive course introduces engineers and engineering technicians to automated data acquisition. The course emphasizes applications and sensors for the geotechnical and structural monitoring markets.

At Your Site

Providing the easiest option for your group, we will customize a training program tailored to your specific needs. This training is provided at your facility and can be adjusted to focus on your team's knowledge level, time constraints, and specific applications. For on-site training, choose either a one-day workshop or a custom workshop.

One-Day Workshop

Does your team need to cover the basics?

This one-day workshop, geared toward a group of first-time users, is designed as a great overview and introduction to instrumentation best practices. This basic course covers enough topics to help your team members understand the instrumentation they use to accomplish their goals.


Custom Workshop

Does your team need more extensive training?

This multi-day training is customized to your organization's specific needs, allowing our trainers to explain subjects at a deeper level than the one-day workshop.

Self-Paced, Online

The online Geotechnical Instrumentation Basics courses provide self-guided training so you can learn at your own pace. After you register to access the training portal, you can flex your training schedule to complete the sections within 30 days. Several topics are offered, including:

  • Data Acquisition (DAQ) Overview
  • Geotechnical Measurements and Sensors
  • Vibrating Wire
  • Analog Measurements
  • Digital Measurements
  • Software
  • Visualization
  • Communications Methods
  • Power Budgeting

Textbook: Read and Learn

Fundamentals of Automated Field Instrumentation was written to serve as a practitioner's guide and reference for automated monitoring. This textbook pragmatically leads you through core concepts and best practices in automated monitoring systems, including a deep exploration of Campbell Scientific data-acquisition monitoring equipment. 

If you're unable to participate in one of our training courses (in-person, online, or at your facility), we recommend this textbook as a practitioner's guide and reference for automated monitoring.
