Grab your pencil and notebook, start humming your alma mater, and get ready to go back to school – class is in session at Empirical Testing Corp.!  We are proud to announce the availability of two very unique educational opportunities that feature access to knowledge from one of the most respected testing experts in the medical device industry and the opportunity for a hands-on learning experience in an internationally accredited testing facility located just miles away from majestic Garden of the Gods park in scenic Colorado Springs, CO.

Product Development Engineers and Designers are welcome to attend our one day course, "Applicable Test Methods for Spinal Implants" to receive an overview of basic spine anatomy, general test method parameters, FDA guidelines and a detailed breakdown of all applicable test methods while also receiving hands-on training in front of a servo-hydraulic test frame.

We invite Test Engineers, responsible for both internal and/or external testing, to join us for our two day course, "Concise, Repeatable & Traceable Testing Program Setup".  Be a part of a detailed conversation involving the set up of traceable systems, test and test queue management, basic installation and maintenance procedures, fixture requirements for standard test methods, as well as an overview of basic spine anatomy, general test method parameters and FDA guidelines.  This course also includes hands-on time with a servo-hydraulic test frame.
