About the Arieso Learning Portal

All those attending the ariesoGEO User training will have access to our online Arieso Learning Portal. This invaluable
portal will provide relevant pre-learning prior to the course, then as engineers begin to use ariesoGEO post-training,
their learning experience will continue through access to electronic course materials, online assessments, webinars
and forums in a global ariesoGEO user community.

Gaining ariesoGEO User Certified Status

The ariesoGEO User training forms a vital part of the process to gaining certified status. The assessment process has
been designed to test operational abilities in using the ariesoGEO solution. The assessment is structured as:
A series of online questions completed through the Arieso Learning Portal
A one hour assessment where Users will be asked to complete two 30 minute tasks to demonstrate their
knowledge and operational ability of the ariesoGEO solution at a User level
