DBI can offer training on site at your own

premises. When a trainer works at a client

site, we can additionally personalise this

training by tailoring the content and the

course materials according to the data in

your own role/sector and your business.

Online classes are available, beginning with

the basics. Training is delivered via

standard “meeting” software. We can show

you how to navigate through Diver without

you ever needing to move away from your

desk. A limited package of courses is

available for this type of training. It’s the

most efficient way of training for

companies where users are spread over a

number of sites.

how to use the Visual Integrator

and add “objects” to build an

Integrator Script. The script

manipulates files and fields and

allows you to transform them with

calculations etc before exporting in

TXT, SQL or Diver Model format.

It also considers what you need to

take into account before designing

and building a Diver Model.

We cover the question of

performance and how to manage

the number of Dimensions,

Summary Fields and Info Fields and

their repercussions on the size and

speed of building a Model.

Also in this course, DiveMaster:

this tool enables you to implement

model simulations and multi-level

or consolidated Diveplans.
