Seminars

Knowledge is power!

In addition to products and support, PRO-TECS offers a wide range of training opportunities in the HF Competence Center with technical training courses and seminars.

In our courses, we impart knowledge about basic knowledge in the field of antenna and filter technology, the handling and evaluation of measurements, installation seminars for vehicle fitters and object radio seminars for system integrators.
