What Training Courses Does Providence-Oris Offer for AERMOD Modeling?

Updated

Providence-Oris offers three named AERMOD-related training tracks—AERMOD Modeling, Advanced AERMOD, and Air Permitting—delivered as scheduled courses, on-site training, and webinars. The company also advertises a group discount: registering more than one person for its AERMOD training courses saves $100 per person with the code "100TRAINING." If you need to know exactly which course fits your background, the deciding factor is whether you are new to dispersion modeling (AERMOD Modeling), already running models and hitting edge cases (Advanced AERMOD), or preparing a permit application (Air Permitting).

Course topics

The site lists these training topics under its Training section:

Course Likely focus based on the site's naming
AERMOD Modeling Core AERMOD training
Advanced AERMOD Follow-on material beyond the introductory course
Air Permitting Modeling in the context of permit applications

The site does not publish a syllabus, prerequisite list, or hour-by-hour agenda for any of these courses, so treat the table above as the scope the company names rather than a confirmed curriculum. If you need to know what a specific course covers before registering, request the details directly.

Training formats

Providence-Oris delivers training in more than one format:

  • Scheduled courses — the standard registration path, and the one the group discount applies to.
  • On-site training — you can request that training be brought to your organization.
  • Webinars — listed both as upcoming webinars and as a separate webinar section, alongside free software webinars.

The site also offers free software trials, which is a lower-commitment way to evaluate the tools before paying for training.

Instructors

The site's "Instructors" page sits under Training, and the company describes itself as "highly trained" with years of experience and an established client base. It does not publish individual instructor credentials, so if instructor background matters to your decision, ask for it rather than assuming a specific level of qualification.

Registration and group discount

The registration path runs through the site's Training section. The stated discount terms are:

  • Condition: more than one person registered for the AERMOD training courses.
  • Benefit: $100 off per person.
  • Code: 100TRAINING.

The site presents this as a special discount for groups. It does not state an expiry date or say whether the discount stacks with other offers, so confirm both at registration if the price difference matters to you.

What to check before you register

  • Which course matches your level. The site names three tracks but publishes no prerequisites. If you already run AERMOD, ask whether Advanced AERMOD assumes prior course completion or equivalent experience.
  • Whether the format you want is scheduled. On-site training is request-based, so it depends on scheduling rather than a fixed calendar.
  • Current pricing. The site shows prices for software products (for example, AERMOD Wizard at $345–$690, and the IGRA Files Extractor and Surface Files Converter at $40 each as one-time purchases), but training prices are not listed in the available material. Get the current course fee directly.
  • Whether the discount applies to your registration. The code is described specifically for AERMOD training courses, so verify it applies to the course and format you choose.

For anything beyond the course names, formats, and discount terms above—schedules, fees, CEU credit, or detailed content—contact Providence-Oris through the Training or Contact sections of the site.
