We offer standard and customised Aimsun training, ranging from basic use to advanced programming for research. Most of our standard courses are delivered at our offices in Barcelona, Paris and New York. We are also happy to schedule on-site training and to customise course content to suit your particular requirements. Depending on the participants’ needs, we hold the courses in English, French or Spanish.
In addition to holding standard courses at our offices, we work with our distributors to offer training sessions all around the world; so far we have run well-attended courses all over Europe and in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Iran, Japan, Morocco, Singapore, South Africa and Turkey.

While there is no need for prior experience with Aimsun software for these courses, we do strongly recommend that you take the time beforehand to familiarise yourself with the software and run through the tutorials in the Aimsun installer. This will ensure that you get the most out of the training.
Registration fees depend on the course content and location. They include instruction, training materials and refreshments. For the hands-on exercises, we advise participants to bring their own laptops. Registrations are subject to availability and payment must be received in full in advance of the course.
