This five-day, hands-on Aimsun training course will be held from Monday 4th December to Friday 8th December 2017 in central London, an easy walk from the Farringdon, Chancery, and Holborn Underground stations, and close to Piccadilly Circus. The course is split into two separate, standalone modules, so you can do either one or both, according to your needs.
