FAQ
Should I take the 1-day or the 3-day?
If you need to read and check models other people build, the 1-day is enough. If you are the person delivering the project's model, take the 3-day — data handling and project organisation are what actually consume the time on real work.
Can it be delivered in Thai?
Yes. We run the training in both Thai and English, and at times jointly with SoundPLAN in Germany.
Can you deliver it outside Thailand?
Yes. Geonoise Asia runs SoundPLAN training from our offices in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam and Hong Kong, and at client offices on request.
