The HYPACK USA Training Event is a low-cost method to receive comprehensive instruction in HYPACK, DREDGEPACK and HYSWEEP software. The training is beneficial to all as HYPACK provides a general training session for those who are just beginning to use HYPACK or those who wish to have a refresher.

There are also expert sessions for those who wish to receive more in-depth training on a particular subject. For those who need help with an individual issue or question, one-on-one sessions with technicians and programmers are also available throughout the event.

Also available is a chance to become HYPACK Certified in HYSWEEP AND HYPACK after our HYPACK 2015 Training Event. This is a difficult test that is given upon the completion of a three-day HYPACK Training Seminar. Users must demonstrate advanced knowledge in Survey Design, Hardware Configuration, Survey, Single Beam Processing, Sounding Selection, Multibeam Calibration and Processing, Volume Computations and General Hydrography in order to pass with a score of 70 or better.
