The courses and exams are delivered by SPH Engineering, the company behind UgCS and the Integrated Systems survey payloads. HobiTech coordinates enrolment for customers in India. Every discipline follows the same path:
- Self-study courses — after payment, the course is unlocked on the SPH Engineering Academy platform and you finish at your own pace.
- Trainer-led courses — live training with a trainer, with practical exercises or remote support. Formats vary by course; for example, UgCS Basics adds a live Zoom session, and the magnetometer course runs up to 6 hours for a group of up to 4 students.
- Practical exams — six exams test hands-on skills. After passing, you receive an SPH Engineering certificate that can be shared on LinkedIn.
The courses are built around the survey systems HobiTech sells in its Integrated Systems range. See also our SPH Engineering and UgCS software pages.
Each program page lists its self-study courses, trainer-led courses and matching practical exam, with a link to the full details of every course. The two UgCS courses appear on every survey program page, because SPH Engineering’s survey systems use UgCS for mission planning.
