ASAPS Course
Many people use ASAPS software but are not aware of all the software's capabilities. IPS offers in-house training that takes the user through exercises on ASAPS' capabilities and the interpretation of GRAFEX, Field Strength and Area predictions.
At the end of the training, the user should have an understanding of the prediction types and navigation within the software.
ASAPS courses are organised on request only. If you would like more details about an ASAPS course, please contact training@ips.gov.au.
