Training facilities can divert production resources thus diminishing the efficiency of both. Standing up a training program is a special hardship for small and newly formed companies. IVI Academy allows a company to instantly establish a factory authorized training center with no capital outlay. Companies of all sizes can enjoy a marketing, logistics, and public relations advantage of having a factory authorized training center in the Gulf South. The IVI Academy team will create a custom curriculum and provide turnkey training for your staff and clients in a beautiful beach community setting. You approve the curriculum; we deliver the training.
The IVI Academy is strategically located on the shore of the Gulf of America in the heart of the Gulf South. Surrounded by unique maritime environments including rivers, estuaries, bays, the Sound, unrestricted low traffic waters, active commercial ports, and the Gulf of America. A body of water whose environmental conditions and geographical features closely mimic those of the South China Sea.
Why IVI Academy?
Quick Track Workforce Training
Earn a subject specific microcredential in as little as one week. Stack multiple microcredentials to create a training program focused on the requirements needed to land a new job or advance within your current company. IVI Academy programs are not just training exercises, they are mission driven operations that prepare our students for careers in advanced technology industries. IVI Academy mission operation suites support both line of sight and over the horizon telemetry, allowing students to conduct live hands-on operations near the shore and at sea. Students pilot surface vessels, aerial drones, underwater vehicles, and manage shore command centers. They also perform diagnostics, conduct field repairs, and keep autonomous systems mission ready. IVI Academy students learn by performing the same type of operations that they will encounter on the job.
Prequalify Employment Candidates
Are you wasting time and money with new hires that wash out in a few days? Shift that burden to IVI Academy. All students that apply to IVI Academy complete a written and an oral review to determine their capabilities, strengths, and weaknesses. This process allows us to determine the best track for the student. Not all applicants have the abilities needed to be successful in the IVI Academy programs thus not all applicants are accepted. The IVI Academy is not a diploma mill. We will not waste the precious resources of a student or client. Our standards will ensure that earned credentials are industry respected and our students are highly sought after.
Virtual Sales Demonstrations
Don’t let a sale get away because of logistics. Have a sales demonstration anytime that you need. You and your client can be a continent away while you both remotely operate a vessel configured with your products. IVI Academy staff will have the vessel and sensors tested and ready to operate in the environment of your choice. Our staff will closely shadow the vessel while monitoring the mission on board as well as on shore. Our Gulf of America location does not suffer the problems of heavy traffic, frozen waters, and restricted areas. IVI Academy can quickly develop a virtual demonstration mission that suits your requirements.
Virtual Research and Development
Develop and test hardware and software from the comfort of your office. IVI Academy staff can have your product in place and ready for you to test before you power on your computer. Our technicians can reconfigure, recalibrate, swap electronic modules, and mechanical equipment then re-deploy. Your software changes and new mission parameters can be downloaded remotely for as many iterations as you need. Let IVI Academy do your field work and save your company significant time, capital, and personnel resources.
