The PSpice Master's Class

Interface Technologies' PSpice Master's Class is a customer configured advanced PSpice training class. We have been developing presentations on advanced areas of PSpice for over 8 years, and now offer these training modules in two flexible formats:

  • "Ala carte" selection of subjects to be covered as an add-on day(s) to our two day on-site class
  • Complete coverage of advanced subjects during our PSpice Master's Class

The benefits of The PSpice Master's Class include the following:

  • Clear and logical presentation of subject matter - compiled from scattered source documentation
  • Hands-on, interactive labs solidify the presentation with 'real software' experience
  • Introduction to little known or poorly documented features and uses of PSpice
  • Better understand of PSpice component modeling

Onsite Classes


If you have 4 or more students, we  provide cost-effective Onsite Classes. The advanced subjects can extend a standard 2 day class by an additional one or two days, or, just have us present the Master's Class to your power users.

Call or send an email to discuss your requirements.


Special Offer for Onsite Classes during 2008

TWO DAY ONSITE CLASS : Train up to 15 people for the price of 5!
Pay for an onsite class for 5 students at the regular price ($1795 * 5 = $8,975, plus travel expenses) and train up to 15 total students at no additional charge!  Order must be placed on or before June 30, 2008.Training can be scheduled at your convenience.

Optional Day 3 for Onsite Class: Add an extra day to the onsite class for $4475.00. 
You'll learn more, know how to apply spice simulations to your application, and will save countless hours of "exploratory" application of Spice.

Interface Technologies can also provide customized classes of one to three days in length that stress specific areas of customer interest. Call Dan Waterloo at (708) 366-4411 to discuss your requirements.
